Celebrate Black History with award-winning author, Gwendolyn Hooks, and take home a copy of her book, If You Were a Kid in the Civil Rights Movement (free copies for the first 30 children in attendance). Gwendolyn Hooks won the NAACP Children's Literature award for her picture book biography, Tiny Stitches, the Life of Medical Pioneer Vivien Thomas. She will be reading some of her favorite books related to African American history, and children can stick around afterward to have their books signed and complete a craft. Made possible in part by donations to Pioneer Library System Foundation.
