Virtual Meeting hosted by Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum

President Lincoln loved to read. Reading was his way out of a small cabin on a rural farm—through reading, he learned about life, citizenship, the importance of character and honesty, and his place in the larger world around him. It is from Lincoln’s beliefs that our reading club takes inspiration.

In this book group, you wil discuss books about the world we share, reading relevant books that allow you to engage with staff and your peers around topics that are important to you. You can think, discuss your ideas, challenge assumptions, and (hopefully) grow a little based on what you read.
