Posted by: Wendi Maloney

Eileen J. Manchester, manager of the Library's Lewis-Houghton Civics and Democracy Initiative, tells us about her international background -- born in Germany, English is her second language and she also speaks French. She tutored at her local library while growing up in North Carolina, then interned at the Freedom School Partners literacy program and went to South Africa to study its education system. She continued her studies of early modern women writers at the University of Oxford and came to the Library as a junior fellow in the summer of 2018.
