Join us for a fascinating journey through medical history as we celebrate Women In Medicine Month with historical fiction author Amanda Skenandore!
In this presentation, Amanda will take us back to the turn of the 20th century when pioneering women were breaking barriers in the male-dominated field of medicine. She will share stories of early female physicians who defied societal norms, delve into the world of patent medicines and medicine shows, and discuss the devastating Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in United States history. All of these elements are in her latest novel, "The Medicine Woman of Galveston." Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights into a pivotal time in medical history and to meet the author behind this tale. Amanda will be available to sign copies of her book after the presentation.
Free & open to the public. Seating is first come, first served and may be limited. For more information, please call 702.507.3458.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
