The Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Libraries welcome Florida Humanities Council Road Scholar, Ersula Knox Odom on Saturday, February, 28 at 11 am to the Seminole Heights Branch Library, 4711 Central Avenue, Tampa.

In addition, Odom is the author of At Sula’s Feet, a collection of her memories about growing up with her grandmother in a rural town.
