March is Women's History Month, and KHCPL will be celebrating and supporting women all month long. Donate to our Days for Girls drive at any location all month, drop in on International Women's Day (March 8) to find out about local women-owned businesses, or join us for a special author event on March 12 (tickets free, but required). Here are just a few of our favorite books celebrating the contributions of women in history.
