Women in G.L.A.M. featuring Black Voices in Galleries, Libraries, Archives, & Museums is a free panel discussion highlighting the career paths, leadership, and personal stories of women of color working in cultural preservation. Hosted by Leola Curatorial, this event brings together professionals who manage the spaces that keep our history alive. If you plan to attend, head to the Main Auditorium at the Durham County Library on Saturday, September 26, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The event is free, but you do need to register for tickets online beforehand. While the subject matter is best suited for high school students and adults, the library setting makes it easy to bring younger siblings along to browse the children's section downstairs with another parent during the talk. Parking is available in the library's attached deck and on the surrounding downtown streets. This is a smart weekend pick if you want to support local cultural workers or if you have a teenager looking into careers in art history, library science, or community archives. It offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how our local history is preserved and who gets to tell those stories.
