Did you know that clothing can make you sick, break your bones or even kill you? On Monday, Iowa historian, Kathy Wilson, joins us at the library to take a look at 18th-19th century fashion and the deadly secrets hiding behind those fabulous looks. Wilson also addresses persistent urban myths, including Scarlet O’Hara’s 18-inch waist.

This program starts at 6 p.m. and is open to the public.
