Lamson Library celebrates National Women’s History Month with a display of materials focusing on this year’s theme, Generations of Women Moving History Forward.
The National Women’s History Project has more information on this year’s celebration and other educational programs and resources. During March, the library blog will connect you to local events on campus so come back often!
