Join Hartford Public Library for a powerful Community Book Chat featuring local activists and storytellers as they read excerpts from Warriors Don’t Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals.
This gripping memoir recounts Beals’ experience as one of the Little Rock Nine, the first Black students to integrate Central High School in 1957. Through discussion and reflection, we will explore themes of resilience, activism, and the ongoing fight for justice. Engage in meaningful conversation with community leaders as we connect the past to the present and inspire action for the future.

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
