Local author Vivian Gibson to visit UCPL

The Friends of University City Public Library will welcome author Vivian Gibson for a reading and discussion of her book, The Last Children of Mill Creek. Vivian Gibson was raised on Bernard Street in Mill Creek Valley and has lived in New York City and Liberia, West Africa. After retiring at sixty-six, she started writing short stories about her childhood memories in Mill Creek Valley, a segregated St. Louis community. Her book, The Last Children of Mill Creek, is an essential book for anyone interested in urban development, race, and community history―or for anyone who was once a child.

Refreshments and a book signing will take place after the presentation. This program is intended for adults, but is free and open to all.
