The Newton Free Library will host a Douglass Day Transcribe-a-thon, where participants can celebrate African American history and help transcribe historical documents from the Library of Congress collection. This event is part of Douglass Day, a collaborative program in partnership with the Library of Congress and its By the People crowdsourcing project. Participants can stop by at any time during the event to participate. It will take place on Friday, February 14, 12-3PM in the computer lab at the Newton Free Library (330 Homer Street, Newton Centre).
