The Osceola Library System is welcoming back the Mobile Museums of Tolerance, a traveling educational experience from the Simon Wiesenthal Center that brings lessons of tolerance, history and social responsibility to the community. Housed in a wheelchair-accessible mobile museum, it offers facilitator-led presentations on the Holocaust, the Civil Rights Movement, media literacy and the impact of individual choices, using film, interactive exhibits and guided discussion.
The first scheduled visit is at the St. Cloud Library from 2pm to 3:30pm on Monday, February 9. The featured presentation is Civil Rights, in which participants examine identity and commonality before viewing a short documentary about American civil rights heroes and their fight for equality during the 1950s and 1960s, along with other civil rights movements in U.S. history. Staff will facilitate discussion and reflection. This session will be facilitated inside the St. Cloud Library by Mobile Museums of Tolerance staff, and the museum bus will not be onsite.
At the Hart Memorial Library, visits run 10am to 5:30pm daily from Thursday, March 19 through Saturday, March 21. Daily presentations may include Power of Ordinary People, Civil Rights, Combat Hate and Anne Frank. All sessions are facilitated by trained educators, and the museum is wheelchair accessible.
