Westerlo Library Notes for Wednesday, March 31, 2021
Lisa Wingate brings to life stories from actual “Lost Friends” ads that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War, as newly freed slaves desperately searched for loved ones who had been sold away. The Westerlo Library’s Third Thursday Book club will discuss the novel.
