New and expanded Library hours begin Sunday, July 18. Details
Join us in welcoming our One Read featured author Kate Quinn and hear her discuss her novel "The Briar Club."
Haunting, powerful and richly layered, Kate Quinn's "The Briar Club" follows a group of women navigating friendships and secrets in a Washington, D.C., boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.
Written through the stories of the women's unexpected bonds and their weathered home, "The Briar Club" weaves a gripping tale of hidden truths, loyalty and the pressures of society. Come together in this annual community read event to hear the author discuss her acclaimed novel — a story of discovery, the power of human resilience and the beauty of community. Books will be available for purchase and signing. A One Read event.
