Date: Wednesday, August 14, 2024
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Location: Community Room B, Lakewood Ranch Library,

Each donated volume features a bookplate that honors Myron F. Robinson, a
lifelong library supporter and a key advocate for bringing a library to
East Manatee County. Lakewood Ranch Library branch manager Tiffany
Mautino curated the collection, which includes African American fiction
and non-fiction books focused on culture, pertinent issues, and related
topics. The collection features prominent African American authors
across genres, and includes children’s literature, large print, and
multicultural/bilingual editions.
The
Aug. 14 dedication ceremony is open to the public. It aims to celebrate
the donation and highlight the importance of supporting local
libraries.
