We call it “Historic Bookmarks” (yes, very “punny”!).
Our Historic Bookmarks book club is holding its first-ever book club meeting at Camp North End and we want you to join us! We’ll be discussing Charlotte’s role during WWII with Charlotte’s own Meredith Ritchie, author of Poster Girls, a historical fiction novel set in Charlotte during WWII and based on true but forgotten events.

Weather: If it rains, we’ll move across the street to the Free Range Bar patio at 301 Camp Road, Charlotte.
