Civic Saturdays

About This Event

Dayton Metro Library is excited to announce a new spring series, Civic Saturdays, beginning Saturday, March 14, from 10 am-12 pm, in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum. The first session features guest speaker Tara Campbell, executive president of Dayton United for Human Rights Coalition. This program series is rooted in ritual and seeks to foster a sense of civic pride and commitment to strengthening communities. The goals of Civic Saturday are to celebrate community, foster civic power, practice rituals of civic belonging, and create joyful neighborhood gatherings. Each session will include listening to excerpts of landmark U.S. literature, singing civic songs, creating new connections, and hearing from local leaders. Civic Saturdays are sponsored by DML’s The Center for Community Impact & Innovation, League of Women Voters Greater Dayton Area, and Dayton United for Human Rights for Civic Saturdays. This series is also part of DML’s America 250 programming and is intended for an adult audience. For more information, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
