In March we celebrate the incredible women in history.
Many thanks to the Ambassador Girl Scouts from Lynnfield Troop 82559 for curating a Women’s History Month display, located in front of the Circulation Desk, as part of their Sisterhood Journey. We hope you will check out their display when you visit the Library this month.
