Let’s celebrate 250 years of American Literature by taking an in-depth look at four diverse American authors. Pick up a copy of one of the following books at the Farmville library to read, then join us on the listed dates to watch a movie based on the novel.

An introduction will precede the movie and a discussion comparing the book to the film will take place after the screening. Refreshments will be provided.

*Books listed will be available for check out one month prior to the film screening.*

*This program is for adults.*
