Children's Authors and Illustrators Series - Author Tangular Irby

The New Haven Free Public Library’s Children’s Authors and Illustrators series returns! Join local author Tangular Irby as she conducts a read aloud of her children’s book, Pearl and her Gee’s Bend Quilt, an engaging story about family, art, and adventure. She will discuss the legacy of Gee’s Bend quilting, her relationship to Gee’s Bend quilters, and the inspiration for her children’s books. Tangular will also encourage others to consider writing and sharing their own stories. There will also be a book giveaway, while supplies last.

During this diversity conversation, you’ll be able to see, recognize, and celebrate the Afro-Peruvian historical, artistic, and cultural heritage.

Walk to End Alzheimer's

Yale’s affinity groups are leading the way to Alzheimer’s first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Alzheimer’s does not discriminate and we are all at risk, although African Americans, Hispanics, and women have an increased risk. Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women. Alzheimer’s kills more that breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.
