Memphis Friends were a bingo square for attenders at the Memphis Library's Pride Kick-off. Susan organized a colorful marbleized bookmark activity for children and children-at-heart. We also brought along some of the books we share with our children in First Day School, as well as a new copy of the Bayard Rustin biography to donate to the library collection. This was Memphis Friends' third year to participate, and our first chance to witness the children's parade!
