Author Talk_Daniel James Brown_March 8, 2025

​Join the Mount Vernon Library Foundation on March 8, 2025 at 7:30 pm for our second annual author event to support exciting library programs for the entire community. The Foundation seeks ongoing financial donations to continue supporting the programs that make the Mount Vernon Library Commons extraordinary.
 
Mr. Brown is the author of The Boys in the Boat, about the University of Washington rowing team during the 1936 Olympics, and more recently, Facing the Mountain: A True Story of Japanese American Heroes in World War II, which introduces us to the Japanese Americans who fought in a special unit during WWII while many of their family members were incarcerated in detention camps. He’ll talk about both books, how they are related, and how he came to write them.

Last year our author event sold out and we expect the same this year.
