Arlington Reads 2011—The Soldier's Story

Post Published: March 1, 2011

Arlington Reads 2011 info page

Arlington County – home to the Pentagon, Fort Myer and Arlington National Cemetery – is never far from war. 

Because understanding a soldier’s life and work is so relevant to our community, Arlington Reads 2011 features the theme “The Soldier’s Story: Serving Country and Community.”  We will read Pulitzer-prize winning Washington Post reporter David Finkel’s “The Good Soldiers” – a non-fiction account of U.S troops in Iraq – and Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” – a work of fiction about American soldiers in the Vietnam War.

Arlington Reads 2011 will also include:

  • Community Discussion moderated by GU professor and author Nancy Sherman – March 31.
  • Author Talk with David Finkel – April 14
  • Author Talk with Tim O’Brien  – April 21
  • Films
  • Activities for students and families 

All events are free and open to the public, but seating is limited and will be on a first come, first serve basis – for details on seating, visit the Library website or call 703-228-6321.

Stay on top of all the Arlington Reads 2011 news by following us on Twitter and Facebook. And from March 6 – March 11, you can enter to win a FREE copy of one of the two featured Arlington Reads 2011 titles on Facebook.

Arlington Reads is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Arlington Public Library.
