2nd November 2016 at Tate South Lambeth Library

Tate South Lambeth library hosted a special event for senior students of two local schools to meet officials from the US embassy.
Jennifer Williams US Embassy Press Secretary gave the students an insight into the role and relationship the embassy has within the UK and had a lively debate with the students. The hot topic was the forthcoming presidential election and the students were keen to know who she was voting for. A true professional she smoothly avoided giving a direct answer.
Kate Hoey MP for Vauxhall was also on hand to lend her support to the event as was Edith (Friends of Tate Library).
Patrick managed to have a brief discussion with Jennifer about the work the DTVIP (Digital Technology for Visually Impaired People) group does within Lambeth libraries, before she was whisked away again by the students.
Jennifer on behalf of the US Embassy then donated some 100 books to the two schools.
