You Are Invited To
Celebrate Children's Literature

featuring Carole Boston Weatherford Best-selling Poet & Children's Book Author Friends of the Library Membership Meeting Monday, March 28, 2011 @ 6:30 p.m. Belk Dining Hall, Meredith College

We will celebrate the expansion of the library's children's collection, honoring Janet Groomer for her significant support of both the collection and the College's Education Department. Award winning children's author and poet Carole Boston Weatherford will speak. Many of her books deal with pivotal events and personalities of the Civil Rights Movement and the end of slavery in America. Moses, for example, is a powerful evocation of Harriet Tubman. Weatherford says, "My poetry, nonfiction and historical fiction are inspired by oral traditions and informed by my African-American heritage."
