The Mount Vernon Library Foundation invites the community to its second annual author event on March 8th at 7:30 PM, featuring acclaimed author Daniel James Brown. Known for his bestselling works such as "The Boys In the Boat," which chronicles the University of Washington rowing team during the 1936 Olympics, Brown will also discuss his recent book "Facing the Mountain," which tells the true stories of Japanese American heroes in World War II. This event is a unique opportunity for literature enthusiasts to gain insights into the historical contexts of these narratives. Books will be available for purchase at the event, courtesy of Seaport Books, a local bookstore that encourages pre-reservations for those who wish to secure a copy in advance. The evening promises not only engaging discussions but also a chance for attendees to connect with the author during book signings.

Such events foster community engagement and promote a greater understanding of significant historical themes. Participants are encouraged to attend and celebrate the literary contributions of local authors. Don't miss this chance to delve into compelling stories that shape our understanding of history and culture.
