HPL will have a booth at the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum community event: a book launch for Growing Up True.
The book tells the story of the True family — African American landowners and farmers who helped shape the Sourland Mountain region. This event is an opportunity to celebrate our local libraries, especially since the woman who inspired the character of the book’s heroine, Pat Payne, was a devoted librarian in our community for much of her career.
A volunteer from the Hopewell Public Library will be on hand to talk about the history of the library, programming, and take applications for library cards.
