Before the C&O Canal, before the B&O Railroad, between 1785 and 1828 over 200,000 tons of freight, mostly grain, was shipped down the Potomac River to Georgetown and out to a hungry world. This was the accomplishment of George Washington’s Potomac Company, established in 1785 to “get the rocks out of the way” and allow for in-river navigation of the Potomac River.
This lecture will allow you to see the Potomac River system through the eyes of our first President. It will review the technologies used to “open up” the Potomac revealing the successes and failures of the project.
Our speaker is Paul Kreingold the Conservation Director of the Loudoun County Chapter of the Izaak Walton League, Virginia Master Naturalist and author of Potomac Marble: The History of the Search for the Ideal Stone.

July 1, 2026 is the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. The bloodiest day in the British Army's history. The Somme offensive, however, was a diversion meant to relieve pressure on the French city of Verdun. There, the Germans had begun an offensive in Feb 1916 to bleed the French Army white.
1916 was a turning point in WWI. Belligerents on the Western Front began long, horrific battles of attrition. While much has been written about the impact of this bloody year on the fighting men, the consequences of "total war" on the civilian populations have been less studied. Historian Scott Hileman will give an overview of Verdun and the Somme before we see footage of the fighting in "Apocalypse WWI Part 03: Hell" (2016). Microbiologist Mark Chee will discuss how the incredible strains of the Great War exacerbated the eventual impact of the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Following the events of the first book, this riveting sequel picks up with our four protagonists as they grapple with the changes wrought on their world. Michelle will discuss her work, then answer questions and sign books
About the book: The sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller, His Face Is the Sun. Magic, adventure, romance, and horror collide in this lush, epic, Ancient Egyptian inspired trilogy perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Tahereh Mafi, and Sabaa Tahir.
Fresh to the throne, the cunning new pharaoh schemes to bring unprecedented power to the Kingdom of Khetara. He commands absolute allegiance, leaving bloodshed in his wake as he searches for the missing Princess Sitamun, and at his side, the young priestess Nefermaat serves as divine counsel. Having witnessed the king’s merciless acts, Neff furtively plots to free the kingdom from his grip, though she knows the heavy price of treason.
Meanwhile, the rebellion in Low Khetara grows, and Raetawy, a courageous farm girl, leads the resistance. Her quest is clear: infiltrate the capital and free the imprisoned rebels—including her beloved father. Yet in her desperation, Rae agrees to a plan that could destroy all she is fighting for….
In the Red Lands, the thief Karim grapples with the new life he’s been given. Is it a blessing or a curse? He fears what lurks within him, yet he and his unlikely companion, Princess Sita, grow ever closer as they search for a lost city believed to harbor the secret to saving Khetara from destruction.
The ancient oracle that once whispered to these four strangers now speaks with an urgency as powerful as the mighty Iteru. The current of destiny is strengthening, but will it bring redemption…or annihilation?

Nothing can ruin a good story faster than bad dialogue. Whether too saccharine, too dramatic, or too flat...dialogue that doesn't feel believable can undermine the characters' intents and do a disservice to the story at large. In this workshop, we're going to look at some examples of strong dialogue from published works and discuss why we think they work well. Then we'll use character descriptions to develop our own characters and scenes of dialogue between them. For those who want to participate, expect to swap drafts and critique each other's work.
We can find inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and often, other art forms inspire us to feel a certain way. If you're lucky, it might even make you think of a story (or a character)! In this workshop, we're going to have music play throughout the writing portion of the session. You'll use the music as inspiration--or guidance--to developing a scene within a story. What does the story make you think of or feel? What emotion does it trigger and what kind of character might exist within the scene? Anyone who wants to participate can share at the end of the session. For Grades 6-12.
Dive into creative writing with this workshop led by Author Niki Gjoni.
On the remote Japanese island of Awashima, one post office is a repository for over 60,000 pieces of mail--birthday cards, holiday greetings, letters--for those with no forwarding address. Lost friends and pets that haven't been seen or heard from; past and future selves; and, most frequently, the dead. In this workshop, we're going to discuss the art of expressing the most common of human emotions--grief, sadness, melancholic joy--without overwriting. How can we make our expressions on paper feel authentic? We will select several emotions for which we'll develop unique voices emanating from characters writing in first person to the post office. For those who want to participate, expect to swap drafts and critique each other's work.
All materials provided while supplies last. For grades 6-12.

For Grades 6-12
