Celebrate amazing women in history and in your own life by creating with the Library’s collections! This event for kids and their families will feature creative, engaging activities such as contributing to a communal mural of female trailblazers, transcribing Clara Barton’s personal papers and correspondence, and reimagining the Jefferson Building to showcase the diversity of women’s achievements.
At 2 p.m., join us for a conversation with Chelsea Clinton, author of the picture book “She Persisted” and related "She Persisted" chapter book series; Rita Williams-Garcia, a celebrated author of novels for young adults and middle-grade readers; and Meg Medina, current National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature.
