It's that time of year again ~~ Long Island Reads, an Island-wide reading initiative. Each Spring, people in Nassau and Suffolk come together to read the same book and participate in discussions of the selection during National Library Week in April. The selection this year is The River of Doubt by Candace Millard.

Teddy Roosevelt, the 26th U.S. president, failing re-election, goes on an adventure that nearly kills him. Historian and National Geographic contributor Candice Millard records TR's exploration of an uncharted river in the heart of the Amazon and turns the incredible story of Roosevelt's South American adventure into one that easily matches an Indiana Jones screen adventure.

Join us on Monday, April 12th at noon for our discussion on this true-life adventure story.
