Love in the Library - Based on True Events in Minidoka | Speaker Series

Conference/Presentation
Virtual

Date: March 18, 2022

Time: 7 p.m.



Get cozy and bring your listening ears on Friday, March 18, 2022 at 7 p.m. via Zoom when we’ll have a live reading of the picture book Love in the Library, a story of true love that happened in the Minidoka Internment camp. Tama and George meet at Minidoka’s small library and their relationship grows during what was a difficult time for Japanese Americans. Author Maggie Tokuda-Hall and illustrator Yas Imamura will present their latest work and hold a conversation on the process of bringing this story to life. This is a family-friendly event and we encourage you to join in with your children, grandchildren and friends!
