Norman Public Library to host annual Crowns Tea
A Black History Month tradition is making its annual return to the Norman Public Library.
The library will host the eighth edition of its Crowns Tea Sunday, Feb. 26. Two seatings will take place, at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., in the Lowry Room of the library, 225 N. Webster Ave.
The Crowns Tea is based on the photo essay “Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats,” which celebrates the tradition of the church hat. Guests are welcome and encouraged to wear their Sunday best and the library always is filled with dozens of colorful hats.
Free tickets are required for the Crowns Tea and are available beginning at the conclusion of the library’s African-American Read-In, which takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12.
After Feb. 12, up to four tickets per person can be picked up at the library’s Information Desk or may be reserved by calling 701-2620. There will be a limited number of tickets available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Crowns Tea is part of the Norman Public Library Cultural Series and is funded by the Norman Arts Council, Pioneer Library System Foundation, Friends of the Norman Library, Norman Chamber of Commerce and the Pioneer Library System.
For more information on the program, or any of the services offered at the Norman Public Library, call 701-2600.
