On Wednesday, September 25, at 6:15 PM, join us for an engaging author talk with local Fairhaven author Linda Kushner.
Linda's book, The Fight that Saved the Libraries cronicles her experiences from controversial split between Providence Public Library and the newly formed Community Libraries of Providence. As a key player in this five-year battle, Linda helped rally thousands of Rhode Islanders to create a new library system, preserving all nine of Providence’s neighborhood libraries.
A retired attorney, Linda represented the East Side as a state legislator for 12 years, from 1982 to 1994. Her inspiring story shows how a persons passion for problem-solving and social mobilization saved neighborhood libraries that were on the brink of closure.
Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signing.
