Thanks to library, community for World AIDS Day observance

BRATTLEBORO-We at the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont extend our heartfelt thanks to Brooks Memorial Library and the community for their invaluable support during our observance of World AIDS Day from Dec. 2 through Dec. 6.

The library staff thoughtfully selected a range of books that highlight the history, present-day realities, and future of HIV/AIDS, offering patrons a unique opportunity to explore this important subject.

Thank you to Everyone's Books for contributing to our raffle prize. The lucky winner will receive the 2024 book It was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful: How AIDS Activists Used Art to Fight a Pandemic, by Jack Lowery.

In addition, community members came together to create their own AIDS awareness pins and color ribbon coloring pages, contributing to a meaningful and collaborative project.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of the library and the generosity of the community in helping to raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS.
