Wilmette Public Library's One Book, Everybody Reads Program About to Begin

The start of the Wilmette Public Library's One Book, Everybody Reads program is just around the corner.  The program begins on Sunday, March 30, at 2 pm when the library presents Griselda Garibay, Advancement Coordinator for the Vincentian Family Haiti Initiative.  During the program, called "Haiti: An Insider's Perspective," Ms. Garibay will give insight into Haiti's past, present and future and describes how the organization empowers Haitians to create better lives for themselves. Haitian handicrafts will be available for sale.  The program will be held in the Library Auditorium, 1242 Wilmette Avenue, Wilmette.
