Read and discuss children's literature from an adult's perspective.

Discuss Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

Grown-up Meg, tomboyish Jo, timid Beth, and precocious Amy. The four March sisters couldn't be more different. But with their father away at war, and their mother working to support the family, they have to rely on one another. Whether they're putting on a play, forming a secret society, or celebrating Christmas, there's one thing they can't help wondering: Will Father return home safely?

Please visit and subscribe to our YouTube Channel - Loudoun County Public Library Online Programs - for more programs.
