Chapter 250: Reading America’s Story Together – Adults

Chapter 250: Reading America’s Story Together – Adults (Granville Branch)

Tuesday, May 26th, 5:00 p.m.

Adults ages 19 and older are invited to join a hybrid community book club that brings readers together to  explore the American Revolution through shared reading, short film clips, and conversation. Each month,  participants will view a preview from the PBS documentary The American Revolution by Ken Burns, Sarah  Botstein, and David Schmidt, along with additional short videos connected to the featured book,  followed by an informal group discussion.

The featured title for this session is “A Girl Called Samson,” by Amy Harmon, which tells the story of  Deborah Samson, a young woman who defies convention to claim independence and purpose during the  American Revolutionary War. Born into hardship, Deborah disguises herself as a man to enlist in the  Continental Army, confronting the realities of war while guarding a dangerous secret, and discovering an  unexpected love along the way.

The program runs approximately 45–60 minutes and is free and open to the public. Virtual registration is  available at: https://shorturl.at/0aaJI. Copies of the book are available at the Granville Branch.
