Event Details

Join the Pauline Foster Teen Center in commemorating the AIDS quilt Project!


Youth are invited to come learn about the importance and impact of LGBT+ history. Attendees will have the opportunity to design their own “quilt” square that will be displayed in the library and network at a Mini LGBTQIA Resource Fair.  

“The Quilt is significant both in the way it facilitated these changes and on its own terms. It was a new kind of memorial; one that was collectively created and movable and shape-shifting, instead of the classic mausoleum sort of thing or sober mourning statue.” - Katherine Ott
