The Arlington library system’s “Arlington Reads” author-talk series will focus on poet, author and activist James Baldwin for 2024, the centennial of his birth.
Baldwin (1924-87) “was not afraid to write about or say aloud what he experienced,” county library director Diane Kresh said. “If your reading journey has missed Baldwin, you are in for a treat.”
The series will include a number of author talks, as well as library programs for all ages, from book clubs to crafts to film screenings, that “will draw inspiration from Baldwin’s words, life and legacy to carry his spirit forward,” library officials said.
