How We Learn About the Books We Love and the Authors Who Wrote Them

January 26, 2013 in Activities, Uncategorized | No comments

The Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library has invited David Stewart, president and founder of Washington Independent Review of Books, to speak about connecting readers with authors and books they might love on Monday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Mount Pleasant Library, 3160 16th St. NW. All are welcome to this free program.

Stewart is the author of The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution, Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln’s Legacy, and American Emperor, Aaron Burr’s Challenge to Jefferson’s America. He is about to publish his first fiction novel and will follow that with a book on James Madison. He was inspired to create the Washington Independent Review of Books because of the decline in book reviews published in most newspapers.

A short meeting of the Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library will follow the program. Anyone interested in joining the Friends group is encouraged to attend the meeting.
