County Celebrates Women’s History Month with Library Events and Resources

 

Leon County Government celebrates the bravery, contributions, and progress of women during Women’s History Month with book clubs, story times, and resources from the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library System. Thematic book lists, movie watchlists, and Traveling Book Club kits give citizens of all ages the opportunity to learn about the inspiring women who helped shape our community and the world.
