📚🎨 Author & Artist of the Month – Frances Boudreaux 🎨📚

We were so grateful to have Frances Boudreaux join us at the Main Library today for a wonderful presentation and book signing! 💛✨

🌟 Frances is a practicing artist, author of poetry and plays, and ...serves as board chair for Glass Act Recycling. She is also an active member of the Alexandria Garden Club and a passionate advocate for her community

📖 She previously published her memoir “Where the Sun Don’t Shine and the Shadows Don’t Play” and her latest children’s book, “A Saving Place,” is inspired by her advocacy for victims of child abuse and survivors of domestic violence, as well as her work teaching sustainable gardening practices

✨ It was an honor to hear her speak and share her work with our community

💛 Thank you, Frances, for spending your morning with us!
