Community Voices: In Conversation

Panelists from our LGBTQ+ community, whose stories are showcased in our Community Voices Pride exhibit, will share their Aurora lived experiences in a facilitated discussion. All are welcome.

Panelists will answer questions posed by a moderator, and we will leave time at the end for questions from the audience. This event will complement our Community Voices exhibit, which showcases contributions from all of our panelists and will be displayed at Santori Library, Eola Road Branch, West Branch, and virtually via our website from June 3 to June 28. Through our live, in-person event, we will have the chance to come together and dive deeper into the themes that emerged from the exhibit. Appetizers and refreshments will be served will supplies last.

This event will take place at Society 57, across the street from Santori Library, immediately before First Friday kicks off. Society 57 is located at 100 S River St, Aurora, IL 60506. Visit www.society57.com.

What is Community Voices?

Community Voices is a collaboration between the library and the community in which the library provides space for community members to share their individual stories. We center Community Voices exhibits around particular heritages or identities that are meaningful for our community. The mission of Community Voices is to foster connections, cultivate empathy, and nurture a sense of belonging at the library.
