The effort was championed by the city's women, led by the determined Ada Van Vechten, who understood that access to knowledge could transform a community. This presentation blends local history, the women's suffrage movement, grassroots activism, and that fascinating moment in history when America's billionaires built libraries instead of rockets. It is the story of women who understood the power of books, ideas, and persistence, and who quietly changed the future of Cedar Rapids.\n\nBring your lunch and we'll provide the dessert.\n\nThis program takes place at The History Center:\n800 2nd Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403\n\nDoors Open 12:00 p.m.\nProgram Starts at 12:30 p.m.\n\nAdmission $10 General Public, $8 Members\n\nChew on This is sponsored by: Rob & Kathy Cook\n
