Join Irondequoit Town Supervisor Andraé Evans and the Irondequoit Public Library for a family oriented, Black History Month book discussion. On Wednesday, February 28^th we will host a facilitated book discussion on the 2015 Coretta Scott King Book Award winner, Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. 

Brown Girl Dreaming is an emotionally captivating memoir written in free verse poetry that will appeal to older elementary school children and adults alike. Woodson, an award-winning black author, recounts the joy of finding her voice through writing stories and shares what it was like to grow up in the 1960s and 1970s in both South Carolina and New York. 

Copies of Brown Girl Dreaming are available for checkout at the display by the children’s room entrance at the Irondequoit Public Library, or can be reserved by calling (585) 336-6060 during open library hours. Brown Girl Dreaming is available as an ebook or downloadable audiobook through the libary's OverDrive system. Registration required.

If you need accommodations to participate, please contact one of our Inclusion Coordinators, Matt Krueger and/or Amy Holland, one week prior to the program.
