Davis Library at the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community
College is gearing up for its annual observance of National
Library Week (NLW), which takes place each April.
Save the date!...
For this year’s NLW
celebration the Friends
of the Davis Library will host a special “Occupy Davis Library” event on Davis Library’s Main Floor Saturday, April 12th beginning
around 1 PM.
The program is to feature a Steve
Free, award-winning musician-singer from McDermott,
Ohio, who will pay tribute to legendary American folk singer and activist Pete Seeger, who passed
away earlier this year, by highlighting classic protest songs and tunes from
the folk
music revival of the 1960s.
In addition to the musical performance, the University of Rio Grande’s
Theatre Department will offer readings from stories they’ve been collecting
on “The Night Abbie Hoffman
Spent the Night at Rio” and examples of student activism during the
1960s.
Many of these stories as well as those collected from local veterans of
the Vietnam
War will be featured on Ohio River
Tales, an online collection of oral histories that is still currently under
construction and found through a link on the Davis Library Home Page.
Look for more details on these upcoming events and NLW to be announced
again here soon!
