2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the History Museum (Main Visitor Entrance)
Educators from the Long Island Museum will guide us through the exhibit Building the Ballot Box: Long Island’s Democratic History. Then we’ll be discussing the book, Stories from Suffragette City edited by M.J. Rose and Fiona Davis, led by Librarian Emma Yohannan. Registration required. Residents and nonresidents welcome. Click here to register now. Emma Clark cardholders will have a copy of the book reserved for them in early April. You’ll be notified when the book is waiting for you.
