Throughout history, there have been advocates and heroes of your ability to read what is important and meaningful to you. Their efforts ensured that libraries like ours could have books for all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs. Join librarians Eddie and Lynnanne in an evening exploring the biographies and accomplishments of reading heroes like Pura Belpré, Sandy Berman, the Tougaloo Nine, and more!
