In case you missed it - the author of The Collective Cure, Dr. Monica Wang, honored our branch librarian Sheila Scott at a recent event!

Dr. Wang spoke about how important libraries are to all people and how libraries are a partner in public health. She then described her personal experience with the BPL growing up in Boston, and how her visits to her local branch library were so impactful as a child.

Dr. Wang beautifully acknowledged West Roxbury Branch Librarian Sheila Scott, who was in the audience, and how she supported her reading growth over her childhood years.
