Join us for a fantastic presentation from Chris Sweeney, the award-winning journalist and author of "The Feather Detective: Mystery, Mayhem, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne".
Sweeney’s book describes the fascinating and remarkable true story of the world’s first forensic ornithologist—Roxie Laybourne (born in Fayetteville & raised in Farmville), who broke down barriers for women, solved murders, and investigated deadly airplane crashes with nothing more than a microscope and a few fragments of feathers.
