Celebration of the Month Library Exhibits: Women's History Month

EXHIBIT 1 

The Ozuna Library celebrates Women's History Month with an exhibit titled:  Rise, Serve, Lead!  America's Women Physicians from the National Library of Medicine Traveling Exhibit Service.  This exhibit highlights the achievement of American women in the field of medicine.  Women have always been healers. To join the ranks of professional physicians, women had to overcome obstacles and fight to practice medicine. They rose to the challenge and have served as doctors for nearly two hundred years. Rise, Serve, Lead! America’s Women Physicians focuses on how women physicians have made a difference through their medical practice and research, their work as activists, their service as administrators, and their mentorship to the next generation of physicians. The exhibit will be on display March 4-31, 2024  during the Ozuna Library’s hours of operation.

EXHIBIT 2

Herbal Traces: Medicinal Plants of South-Central Texas by artist and PAC Instructor Sabra Booth is showcased in the windows of the Ozuna Library and Learning Center.  This captivating installation highlights the importance of preserving our regional flora and its healing properties, while also creating a visually stimulating experience for all passersby. The exhibit will be on display March 1- August 9, 2024  during the Ozuna Library’s hours of operation.
