Celebrate Women's History Month this March at EVPL

EVPL is commemorating Women’s History Month in March. Women’s History Month originally began as Women’s History Week in 1982. Over the next five years, the US celebrated the contributions of women during one week in March. In 1987, Congress passed a law marking the celebration during the entire month. We encourage you to join EVPL in recognizing Women’s History Month over the next few weeks. You can participate by enjoying any of the programs and resources listed below.
