“Bring out your dead!” …or just bring your curiosity to the Fruitport District Library!
Join us for our World Lecture Series as librarian and local historian Matt Lubbers-Moore discusses one of history’s most infamous events: The Black Death. Learn about the plague that reshaped Europe, changed society forever, and made people very suspicious of rats.
Discover the history, myths, medicine, and sheer chaos surrounding the pandemic that swept across the medieval world. Don’t worry, unlike the 1300s, we’ll have air conditioning, comfortable seating, and significantly fewer fleas.
