Honoring Cutright

A Special Story Hour at Pohnpei Public Library

On March 27, 2025, the Pohnpei Public Library had the pleasure of welcoming Patricia Cutright as a special guest for our Story Hour. Mrs. Cutright shared an oral history story about the strength of women in spirit of the up and coming Mother's Day and Women's Day within the month. Mrs. Cutright, an accomplished author and librarian, read from her book Native Women and generously donated a copy to our library, further enriching our collection.

This visit was especially meaningful as Mrs. Cutright has a long and cherished history with PPL. In 1998, during the library's early years, she played a crucial role in training our staff in Follett’s system for book organization. Alongside her husband, she contributed significantly to the foundation of our library’s structure and operational efficiency, leaving an impact that is still felt today.
