    America250

    July 4th of this year marks the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. As the official America250 website suggests:

    "The journey toward this historic milestone is an opportunity to pause and reflect on our nation’s past, honor the contributions of all Americans, and look ahead toward the future we want to create for the next generation and beyond."

    We believe one of the best ways to accomplish all three of those goals is by turning to books. We've created a list of books being published this year to commemorate the occasion and to guide us in this year of remembrance, reflection, and renewal.
