OUR COMMUNITY READS EVENTS

The music will be followed by the short documentary “Dorothea Lange, An American Odyssey,” a portrait of the photographer portrayed as Vera Dare in Mary Coin, best known for her work documenting and humanizing the plight of migrants and farm workers in the 1930s. Refreshments will be served. Sponsored by Felton LIbrary Friends. Register here.
