[Libs-Or] PBS Books: Upcoming Library Programs Available

[Heather-Marie Montilla]

Dear Library Colleague:


Please excuse this email, if you've received it directly.


PBS Books is pleased to announce its next few programs related to its
*Trailblazing
Women Series (including Suffrage Events)*, and please complete this form to
participate: https://forms.gle/bzcvqAY9aCi5n4MKA

*As a reminder:*

To mark the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment,
PBS will launch multiplatform programming focused on “Trailblazers” in
order to commemorate the fight for women’s suffrage in the US and the
stories of modern women, who continue to shatter the glass ceiling and
transform modern history. The Trailblazers PBS theme will be anchored by a
documentary entitled “The Vote,“ discussed below.


To complement this project, PBS Books has developed and launched their
*Trailblazing
Women Virtual Series*, which will highlight amazing stories of American
women through summer-long programming.  In June, July, and August, PBS
Books will offer programming on Facebook Live in collaboration with
libraries across American and local PBS stations.
