Saturday, November 1st is the Sylvia Gaither Garrison Library’s first anniversary party, so mark your calendars and come enjoy the festivities! Do you like poetry? Betty Henry, Cynthia Crowner, Betty Coleman and Ida Mae Henson will share selections with you. Do you like music? There will be performances from John W. Baer, Atlay Washington, and Juan Brown and the JB Singers. And if you like what you hear you can visit the sales desk to find items by the artists on our bill.
This is the library’s opportunity to raise awareness about its holdings, so please take the time to browse through our stacks. There you will find resources that document and elucidate Maryland’s African American Heritage, a veritable treasure trove of books and pamphlets and other materials that bring that rich history into clear focus.
As always, Dr. Joni Jones will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about the library or its founder. She can also help you if you are pursuing information for a research project, because the Banneker Douglass Museum is the state’s repository for all things relating to Maryland’s African American material culture. And should you have items that you would like to donate to the library, she is always eager to make those materials available to the citizens of Maryland and to visitors to our fair state.
So please clear your schedule, pack up the kids, tell your friends, and come join the party! The events will begin at 1 p.m., and continue for two hours. See you there!
