Learn about how MLK’s criminal trial for participating in the Montgomery bus boycott led to the Supreme Court case Browder v. Gayle that would declare segregation on buses illegal. Claudette Colvin, one of the plaintiffs, recently passed away at 86 years old; may she rest in peace. #BookSky #MLK

As we close out the current season of Super Smash Bros League, we held our annual teens vs. staff tournament; usually, the teens beat us handily. 😅 However, against the odds, staff prevailed this year! Congrats to our intrepid team of gamers, and good game to all who played! #LibSky #Nintendo
