Join former Ohio First Ladies, Frances Strickland & Hope Taft, as they discuss their friendship and the important roles courage and kindness play in the development of our children as future leaders.
Join us for this in-depth conversation between friends and former First Ladies of Ohio, Dr. Frances Strickland and Mrs. Hope Taft. Facilitated by Columbus Monthly Senior Editor Suzanne Goldsmith, Dr. Strickland and Mrs. Taft will discuss lessons in leadership related to Dr. Strickland's recently re-released children's book, The Little Girl Who Grew Up to Be Governor. Dr. Strickland and Mrs. Taft will also discuss how their shared experiences helped shape their friendship, the importance of kindness and courage in developing our children as leaders, and how cooperation and community can begin to change our political climate for the better.

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
