Those interested in some nautical U.S. history will enjoy a speaker hosted by the Washington Public Library tomorrow.

Library Director Bryna Walker shares the program will focus on the outer banks of North Carolina, “The person that’s doing it is Laura Keyes and she’s somebody that has been presenting on historic topics for over 10 years. And she’s basically talking about the outer banks of North Carolina which is sometimes called ‘The Graveyard of the Atlantic,’ because of the centuries of shipwrecks and disasters. And so it’ll be an illustrated lecture on Zoom that will share not just the history but also the beauty of the lighthouses that guard the outer banks of North Carolina.”

Keyes is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a Master’s degree in library studies. The one-hour presentation will begin at 6:30 p.m. with discussion to follow. To receive the Zoom link, email tammy.valentine@washington.lib.ia.us or call 319-653-2726.
