Join your Gainsboro Branch Library as we read books inspired by the historic Virginia Y. Lee Collection. Each month we will highlight a novel from Harlem Renaissance authors that our beloved librarian and civil rights activist, Virginia Y. Lee, would have promoted at the Gainsboro Library during her tenure. For September, we will be reading There is Confusion by Jessie Fauset!
Stop by the Gainsboro Branch Library starting September 2nd to pick up a copy and register. Copies are limited to book club registrants.
