ONLINE: THE GIRL WHO RAN: STORY AND Q&A WITH BOBBI GIBB FOR KIDS!

Online program for ages 5-12. Kids, join us on Zoom for a virtual visit with historical figure and American athlete Bobbi Gibb! So who is Bobbi Gibb? Back in 1966, Bobbi made her mark in history as the first woman to run the Boston marathon, at a time when women were not permitted to run in the race. So how did she get into the race? She hid in the bushes and jumped right in!! What happened to her next? Find out by joining us online for an event with Bobbi Gibb herself, as she will share her picture book biography (The Girl Who Ran by Frances Poletti) and answer the children’s questions. Learn about some of the challenges she faced and the doors she opened as we kick off Women’s History Month. Register here to sent the Zoom link a day prior to the class.
