Georgia Irvin - Georgia Irvin’s Guide to Schools *PPD UNTIL 2/20*
Start: 10:30 am
End: 11:30 am
*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TWO WEEKS UNTIL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20 AT 10:30 A.M.* Irvin served for 15 years as Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Sidwell Friends School. Her guide to D.C.-area public and private schools—now in its third edition—has long helped parents find the right schools for their children. This updated edition includes reviews for 82 preschools, a feature that has been missing from school guides in the past and will be of particular interest and value to parents today.
Dolen Perkins-Valdez - Wench *PPD UNTIL 2/20*
Start: 1:00 pm
End: 2:00 pm
*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TWO WEEKS UNTIL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20 AT 3:30 P.M.* In her powerful debut novel, Perkins-Valdez revisits pre-Civil War America. Centering on an Ohio resort that caters to Southern plantation owners and their slave mistresses, the book presents a complex, polarized society from the perspective of three slave women; seemingly resigned to their situation, they’re jolted into a new sense of possibility when a newcomer talks about running away.
Michael Kranish - Flight From Monticello *PPD UNTIL 2/13*
Start: 6:00 pm
End: 7:00 pm
*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED ONE WEEK UNTIL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13 AT 3:30 P.M.*  Legends now, the Founding Fathers in their day were as fallible as anyone else. Kranish’s investigation into Jefferson’s actions during a British military incursion in the Revolutionary War reveals the then-governor of Virginia as a deficient military leader and poor planner.
