The Fulton County Library System’s Summer Reading Program kicked off June 1 with guest speakers that included best-selling author Nic Stone, local politicians, Lucy McBath and Park Cannon and local artists from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Dad’s Garage Theatre Company. The latest guest will be Stacey Abrams joining library patrons on Facebook Live for a special streaming storytime 11 a.m. Monday, June 8.
Stacey Abrams is a New York Times bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, nonprofit CEO and political leader. After serving for eleven years in the Georgia House of Representatives, seven as Democratic Leader, in 2018, Abrams became the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, winning more votes than any other Democrat in the state’s history. Abrams was the first black woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major party in the United States, and she was the first black woman and first Georgian to deliver a Response to the State of the Union.
Abrams will read two stories for the Facebook Live program.
Each week, the library will host a full week of programming that will include everything from virtual storytimes for children and adults, to digital library tutorials and author talks.
