Daviess County Public Library

Join us on the second floor this Saturday, June 6th, at 2:00 to hear a presentation by author Sonya Lea regarding her book, "American Bloodlines".

"American Bloodlines" combines memoir with reportage and cultural criticism to interrogate and complicate the traditional narrative about how lynch culture is created in families, communities, and institutions. The essays in this collection grapple with our complicity in these atrocities—including the agreement in our silences—and demonstrate how we, as descendants, might take responsibility and bring new scrutiny to ancestral and communal crimes.

The Owensboro Symphony presents Symphony Storytime!

This program introduces children to some of the most recognizable classical music by reading stories from The Story Orchestra Book Series, which brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classical ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores.

Each Symphony Storytime includes reading a storybook with musical interludes from famous orchestral works and a music education component where students will learn about the composer, the music heard, and can ask questions and interact with the Owensboro Symphony’s education team.
