Summer Reads: Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray

Meet Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray, authors of The Personal Librarian. The Personal Librarian tells the little-known and incredibly timely story of Belle da Costa Greene. Hired by J.P. Morgan in 1905 to serve as his personal librarian, and creator of the Morgan Library's famous manuscript collection, she became one of the most powerful people in the art world, and one of history's most prominent librarians. But Belle was hiding a secret: she was shielding her Black identity and "passing" for white. A GMA Book Club Pick and instant New York Times bestseller! Books will be available for purchase and signing. Presented by A Likely Story Bookstore and Carroll County Public Library.
