This program has been rescheduled for Thursday, September 20 at 6:30 PM.

Join us for a discussion of Margot Lee Shetterly’s Hidden Figures, the phenomenal true story of the black female mathematicians whose calculations fueled some of America's greatest achievements in space.

What is a Community Read?

We’re inviting all of Person County to read and discuss one book. Copies of Hidden Figures will be available at the library starting August 13. All are invited to read the book and attend events at the library. Discussion questions will be available for those wishing to host a discussion in their book club, classroom, civic organization, or church group.
