Saturday, Jan. 21st 2pm- Platt Memorial Library, Shoreham
A Conversation with Vermont Supreme Court Justice Beth Robinson
In conjunction with our display on the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, the Platt Memorial Library is pleased to host Vermont Supreme Court Justice Beth Robinson. She will be leading an interactive discussion about the birth of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, the meaning and significance of those rights, and the independent constitutional protections under the Vermont Constitution. Light refreshments will be served.

In January and February, the Platt Memorial Library will host a new pop-up exhibition from the National Archives, The Bill of Rights and You, commemorating the 225th anniversary of the ratification of this landmark document. The Bill of Rights and You spotlights one of the most remarkable periods in American history, explores the origins of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution (collectively known as the Bill of Rights), illustrates how each amendment protects U.S. citizens, and looks at how Americans exercise the rights outlined in the amendments.
The Bill of Rights and You is organized by the National Archives and Records Administration, and traveled by the National Archives Traveling Exhibits Service (NATES). This exhibition was developed in collaboration with the National Archives’ National Outreach Initiative to commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights. The exhibition is presented in part by AT&T, Seedlings Foundation, and the National Archives Foundation.
