Iowa Statehood Book Club
Join us for the whole year in celebrating the 175th Anniversary of Iowa Statehood on December 28, 2021, by discussing books relating to Iowa History. We will be starting off the conversation of each of the four books selected by the State Historical Society of Iowa's Iowa History Book Club. We will be offering a local perspective on these topics with the help of the staff of the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center.
On Wednesday, March 3rd at 6:30p, we will be discussing “Iowa: The Middle Land” by Dorothy Schwieder.
Books are available through the Rivershare Library Catalog. Registration is not required. This program is meeting virtually using GoTo Meeting. Information about how to join is listed below.
