Women's Equality Day Celebration

Join RPL in celebrating the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment securing the vote for U.S. women.

At our outdoor display on the School Street side of the library you can learn more about the Suffrage movement. Don't miss the creative art installations created by patrons and library staff, inspired by Shirley Chisholm. From 3:30-5:30 stop by to pick up related books and movies at The Vote Pop-up Spot.

In the evening, join Jen Deaderick for a virtual author visit exploring her book: She the People: A Graphic History of Uprisings, Breakdowns, Setbacks, Revolts, and Enduring Hope on the Unfinished Road to Women's Equality.

This event is part of The Vote! which is generously sponsored by Mass Humanities and is a statewide initiative to spark conversations around voting rights.
