    Please join us online for the next LHRT Reads on March 21, 2024. We will be discussing Public in Name Only: The 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In Demonstration by Dr. Brenda Mitchell-Powell. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Mitchell-Powell will be joining us for an author Q&A.

    The event will begin at 7pm EST. Advance registration is required.

    If you would like to participate but cannot access the book from a local library or afford to allocate resources towards its purchase, please email the LHRT Reads co-organizers, Michele Fenton and Amanda Belantara.

    Reminder to all.  The events Brenda described occurred three months after ALA passed the first version of its Library Bill of Rights.
