Take the unique opportunity to bring your community together around the topic of housing insecurity.
Meet the authors of “Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law” at the lead event on May 10 at Main Library.
“Just Action” is meant as “a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders” to address ongoing issues caused by segregation. Those issues were detailed in Richard Rothstein’s best-selling and award-winning “The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America” (2017).

About the branch
The Ellet Branch Library is currently closed for repairs and remodeling. Reopening is scheduled for Summer 2027.
The Ellet Branch Library is a hub of education and entertainment for community members of all ages. Within the library, popular programs for adults include summer concerts and book discussion groups. For teens, weekly events include gaming, creative arts, and more. Finally, for younger children and their families, play, storytime, crafting, and parent/child early literacy programs are popular attractions. In the community, Ellet Branch Library staff can be found at area schools, at Safe Landing Teen Shelter, the Ellet Historical Society, and collaborating with community organizations to make Ellet the best it can be.
Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing complement a rich collection of books (themed book bundles and accelerated reader titles are particularly popular), and movies to make the Ellet Branch Library the one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.
