BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Throughout March 2024, Broward County Library (BCL) will host a wide range of in-person and online events for all ages celebrating Women's History Month.

The Women's History Month's theme for 2024 pays tribute to "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion" and recognizes women who have acted to eliminate bias and discrimination. Broward County Library's engaging series of Women's History Month events are dedicated to the accomplishments of such forward-thinking women. Programs include arts & crafts, concerts, lectures, trivia nights, children's storytimes and more.
