Location: 140 S. Chestnut Street, St. Marys, Ohio 45885
St. Marys Community Public Library is featuring I am Malala by New York Times bestselling author Malala Yousafzai in a discussion on Thursday, November 10th, 2022. We will meet from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the library meeting room. Books are available at the library for checking out and reading prior to our discussion.
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
