Event

To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!


What the Helen of Troy is This

Update from the Library of Congress Communications Officer:

We messed up. We replaced the tree topper yesterday and we hope people can join us for the official tree lighting later this afternoon at 4pm.

“Our intention with the new tree topper was to celebrate liberty and freedom by highlighting the “Liberty Cap” that is featured around the Library’s Great Hall. Obviously, the execution left something to be desired. The topper has been replaced with a festive floral arrangement. We hope DMV residents can visit the Library and celebrate the holiday season with us this year and enjoy it!”
