Celebrating Women’s History Month at the Library!
March is Women’s History Month—a time to honor the trailblazers, innovators, creators, and everyday heroes whose contributions have shaped our world. At the library, we believe stories have power. And this month, we’re celebrating the women whose stories have inspired generations…and the ones still being written right here in Muskegon.
All month long, we’re hosting a lineup of fun, thoughtful, surprising, and empowering programs for all ages. Whether you love music, science, crafts, history, or great conversation, there’s something for you. Here’s what’s happening:
