โ€œA Librarianโ€™s Epilogueโ€ invites you into the quiet storm behind the Palmer Public Libraryโ€™s circulation desk.

In a small-town library, Sally Gwin stood at the crossroads of free speech and community decency. What do you do when a patronโ€™s truck becomes a rolling billboard of rageโ€”parked right outside your library windows? Sally believed fiercely in the First Amendment, yet she also carried the duty to keep the library a safe, welcoming space for all.

This one-woman play wrestles with those questions through humor, humanity, and heart. Step inside her story and see how one librarian balanced the law, compassion, and the power of words.

Grandmother Raven Productions proudly presents A Librarianโ€™s Epilogue, an original one-woman docu-drama written by Bridgette Preston and performed by Diana Bailey, honoring Sally Gwin, Palmerโ€™s first credentialed Public Librarian (1979โ€“1989).
