Albert Wisner Public Library celebrates Women’s History Month

WARWICK — Albert Wisner Public Library plans a series of events and programs to celebrate Woman’s History Month:

Honoring Women of Influence Library officials are asking the public for stories and images of the women who have influenced our lives.

“Tell us about a woman you admire who has influenced your life. Write a short statement of 150 words or less or create a video at the library for our Youtube channel,” library officials requested in the press release announcing the program.

Submissions should be dropped off at the front desk, attention Kathleen Georgalas.

Submission forms and further details are available online at www.albertwinserlibrary.org and at the Library.

“Women’s Work” Spinning Demo A demonstration of the art of spinning by Susan Logothetis will be held Thursday, March 15, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., in honor of Women’s History Month. Hand spinning thread and yarn for household use was an essential skill for every woman in colonial days. A new exhibit, “Women’s Work,” will also be on display in the Wisner Local History Room of the library.

Open to teens and adult. This is a drop-in program, no registration required.
