HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Recently we received a touching
letter from a 5th grader named
Emily in Massachusetts. She
wrote: “If I was living near your
library during the rioting, I
would want to come because it
would make me feel safe.”
After the unrest, we received a
flood of letters, emails, phone
calls and even tweets from around the globe thanking the
staff of the entire Enoch Pratt Free Library system for
remaining open. Libraries were a safe place for families to
visit when everything felt unsettled and volatile. The Pratt
staff were there providing comfort by doing what we do
best – providing information, resources, and programs for
children, teens and adults.
This summer, make the Pratt Library your home away
from home. Register for the Summer Reading program
and enjoy all the free and fun activities for the entire
family. Also the City will be providing free summer meals
to children at six Pratt branches – Pennsylvania Avenue,
Southeast Anchor, Herring Run, Walbrook, Cherry Hill
and Brooklyn. We want to enrich and feed their minds
and bodies.
The Pratt Library has been part of the fabric of Baltimore
for more than a century. And as long as the Central Library
and 21 branches are standing, we will be here for you.

lessons and unique business advice from Miko

Miss Jessie taught them independence and showed
them the value of being “do it yourself” women, all

kitchen table.As a co-founder of Miss Jessie’s, Miko
reveals how she and Titi applied their grandmother’s
lessons to create a successful business from scratch.

VICTORIA CHRISTOPHER
MURRAY
Stand Your Ground
WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 6:30 P.M., POE ROOM
A black teenage boy is dead. A white man
killed him. Was he standing his ground
or was it murder? Using the Trayvon Martin case as the
foundation for her story, Victoria Christopher Murray
weaves a tale about the two women who are dealing with
the tragedy: the mother of the victim and the wife of
the accused. Victoria Christopher Murray is the Essence
bestselling author of more than 20 novels.
IAN MILLHISER
Injustices: The Supreme
Court’s History of
Comforting the
Comfortable and
Afflicting the Afflicted
WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 6:30 P.M., POE ROOM
In Injustices, constitutional law expert Ian Millhiser
argues that the Supreme Court routinely bent the arc of
American history away from justice. He explains how the
Court seized power for itself that rightfully belongs to the
people’s elected representatives and ignored rights that
are explicitly protected by the Constitution. Millhiser tells
the history of the Court through the eyes of the everyday
people who have suffered the most, from Reconstruction
to the present day. Ian Millhiser is a senior constitutional
policy analyst at the Center for American Progress and the
editor of ThinkProgress Justice.

progress in the movement toward marriage equality,
the LGBT community continues to face difficult, and

Wenke got people to talk about a whole range of issues
– growing up, coming out, finding one’s identity, family,
marriage, parenting, careers and much more. Joe Wenke is
a writer, social critic and LGBT rights activist. Presented in

TAMARA WINFREY-HARRIS
The Sisters Are Alright:
Changing the Broken
Narrative of Black
Women in America
TUESDAY, JULY 28, 6:30 P.M., POE ROOM
News headlines, social media and talking heads paint a
problematic picture of black womanhood. In The Sisters
Are Alright, Tamara Winfrey-Harris points out the warped
prejudices behind that narrative and replaces them with
the complex, hopeful reality of what it’s actually like to
be a black woman in America. She explores the impact of
stereotypes on black women’s experiences with marriage,
motherhood, health, sexuality and beauty.
FIRMIN DE BRABANDER
Do Guns Make Us Free:
Democracy and the
Armed Society
WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 6:30 P.M.,
POE ROOM
In the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook
school massacre, many expected a broad strengthening
of gun control laws and a reconsideration of America’s
gun culture. Gun rights advocates argue that firearms
are essential in maintaining freedom. In Do Guns Make
Us Free?, Firmin DeBrabander examines the ways that
proliferation of guns impacts freedom and finds that a
heavily armed citizenry diminishes core freedoms for all of
us. DeBrabander is an associate professor of philosophy at
Maryland Institute College of Art.

… and help reduce
summer slide.
OFFERED IN ALL BRANCHES, the Pratt Library’s
summer programs help reduce “summer slide.”
This loss of academic skills that children may
experience in July and August is nearly impossible
to make up, compounds over time, and particularly
impacts children in underserved communities.
IT COSTS $60 TO SPONSOR A CHILD for a whole
summer’s worth of library programs. Won’t you
consider sponsoring a child or teen?
