About: This National Literacy Month, celebrate VA250 with our new Revolutionary Reads Book Club. Together, we'll explore several new books about the women whose lives and leadership helped shape the American Revolution.

Our first selection, A Founding Mother, is a new historical novel by New York Times bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie that brings Abigail Adams to life, following her journey from revolutionary Boston to the earliest days of the American republic while highlighting the intelligence, resilience, and influence that made her one of the nation's most remarkable First Ladies.

Enjoy lively conversation, light refreshments, and the company of fellow readers as we take a fresh look at American history through the stories of the women who helped forge the nation. Find a copy at your local library or bookstore.

Date & Time: Thursday, September 3, 2026. Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the program begins at 6:00 PM.
