A group of Texas State Librarians recently called attention to sexual violence against women by hosting a reading of The Vagina Monologues. Bobcat Update's Zach Butler has the story:

Students who attended were encouraged to donate to the Hays-Caldwell Women's Center. For Bobcat update, I'm Zach Butler.
