One Book One Community: "The Help"

Did you know that Lehman Library participates in the “One Book One Community" program”?

The current selection is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.

The story is about African American maids working in white households in Jackson, Mississippi[1] set during the nascent civil rights movement in Jackson, Miss., where black women were trusted to raise white children but not to polish the household silver[2].
