Author Stacy Cordery Presents "Juliette Gordon Low: The Remarkable Founder of the Girl Scouts" at the Barrington Area Library

Just in time for the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the USA, author and history professor Stacy Cordery discusses her new book, Juliette Gordon Low: The Remarkable Founder of the Girl Scouts. If you are currently involved in the Girl Scouts, have fond memories of scouting from your youth, or want to learn more about a fascinating, charismatic woman from American history, don't miss this presentation. Gordon Low was a brazen Southern belle whose passion for living did not always correspond with the cultural norms of her time. Cordery's book has received praise from the Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor and USA Today. Complimentary tea and Girl Scout cookies.
