Last chance to see Juneteenth display at the library

For the second year in a row, the Georgetown Public Library has put up a display showcasing the history of Juneteenth and Black culture in Georgetown.  “[The display] highlights a part of the history of Georgetown that people don’t know about,” Librarian Anne Evans said.
