Culpeper reads The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Our first-ever community read event is taking place this year from February through April. We want everyone to read "The Glass Castle" by New York Times bestselling author Jeannette Walls and then talk about it with your family, friends and neighbors.
Today at 2 p.m., Jeannette Walls will speak at the library and sign copies of her autobiography afterwards.
The program is sponsored by The Corner Shelf Bookstore and the Friends of Culpeper County Library. The Friends of the Library have purchased additional copies so that you will not have to wait to read "The Glass Castle," and The Corner Shelf will also have copies for sale. Pick up your copy today at The Corner Shelf or check one out from the Library.
