SUMMARY:Lusty Literature Book Club: "Game On" by Navessa Allen
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a book club where the stories are spicy\, the discussions are unhinged\, and every selection comes with a delicious dose of on-page steam? If so\, Lusty Literature may be just the book club you have been seeking!  \nThis is your judgment-free haven where romance lovers can gush\, blush\, and chat freely about all things love\, tension\, and spice. Before you dive into our monthly picks\, don’t forget to peek at those content warnings—some of our picks can be a little dark or include triggers you might choose to stay away from. \nWe will be meeting on the second Friday of the month (unless a different date is provided due to the facilitator or store schedule demands). \nAll adult readers (18+ due to mature themes) with good vibes and open minds are welcome\, whether you have read the book or not. At Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. Please be aware that the ability to not “yuck someone’s yum” IS required for attendance as everyone has different preferences\, not every book is for every person\, and we want to show one another kindness and respect.  \nBook clubs are intended to be a safe space for readers to share their thoughts and connect with others\, which is especially true with Romance. In our efforts to be inclusive while balancing emotional comfort\, the group facilitator reserves the right to ask a guest to leave if they are creating an uncomfortable environment or are not participating respectfully.\n​\n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event

Join us at Four Seasons Books for a lively discussion. Engage in meaningful dialogue about censorship\, free speech\, and why this book is still making waves today. \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event

SUMMARY:The NCTC Conservation Lecture Series Presents: “Wonderland: A Yellowstone Story” with author Jeff Groff
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday August 20\, 2026\, at 7:00 pm author Jeff Groff will present his new book “The Rocinante in Wonderland: A Yellowstone Story” at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown\, WV.  \nYellowstone is a place of boiling mud\, shooting water\, and thundering bison—a landscape so extraordinary that nineteenth-century visitors simply called it Wonderland. In Jeff Groff’s new book\, two professors and a group of college students spend six nights exploring that landscape aboard a well-worn van named Rocinante.  \nJoin them as they uncover the super volcano beneath the geysers\, trace the ecology of wildfires\, explore our relationship with wildlife—and learn about the history of the Indigenous peoples who have called this place home for millennia. \nAlong the way\, the book follows the arc of the national park idea itself: from the expeditions that first captured the public imagination to the ongoing struggles for preservation and restoration that define Yellowstone today. Part travel narrative\, part natural history\, part philosophical reflection — the Yellowstone story like you’ve never heard it before. \nJeff Groff is a professor of physics and environmental science at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown\, West Virginia. He developed the interdisciplinary Yellowstone National Park field course on which this book is based and has led students into the field there for years. He holds a PhD in applied science from the College of William & Mary. As founder of Starlight Studio\, Jeff is committed to making experiential\, place-based education accessible to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity. \nThis event is free and open to the public. To register\, please email:\nNCTC-Lecture-Series@fws.gov\nInclude the program date\, the names of adults attending\, and any questions. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM.\nProgram begins at 7:00 PM.   \nThis lecture will be recorded and available online September 3 at 2:00 pm ET\nat  https://www.youtube.com/@usfws/streams \nHosted by The National Conservation Training Center. The NCTC Conservation Lecture Series is co-sponsored by The Friends of the NCTC – http://www.friendsofnctc.org \nOrganizer: National Conservation Training Center \nLocation: NCTC 698 Conservation Way\, Shepherdstown\, Wv 25443 \nSource: View original event

SUMMARY:Supper Club Book Club: TBD
DESCRIPTION:Some stories make you hungry.\nSome make you nostalgic.\nSome make you want to pour a drink\, settle in for the evening\, and talk about it with friends. \nCome gather around the table with us for good food\, rich conversation\, and a story that centers food as it’s own character. Whether you come solo or bring a friend\, whether you cook or just show up hungry for conversation\, The Supper Club is meant to feel like pulling up a chair at a table where everyone belongs. \nThe Supper Club is a food-forward club that celebrates books where food is not just background scenery\, but a central character. We’ll read across genres\, from memoir and fiction to essays and unexpected classics\, all tied together by meals\, kitchens\, recipes\, and the emotional weight food carries in our lives. \nEach meeting is part book discussion\, part potluck. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish inspired by the reading.\nThe only requirement is curiosity and a love of good stories. \nWe will be meeting on the third Friday of the month @ 6:30pm (unless a different date is provided due to the facilitator or store schedule demands) in the upstairs community space of the store. \nAll readers are welcome\, whether you have read the book or not.\nAt Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. \n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event

SUMMARY:“Make me a Map” The Creation of the Artillery Atlas of Antietam
DESCRIPTION:Captain Albert Monroe who commanded a Federal battery at Antietam believed that “the value of the light artillery in the army as a factor in the suppression of the Rebellion\, has never been accorded that credit to which it is entitled.” James Rosebrock and Aaron Holley have partnered to set the record straight by creating a visual record of the employment of artillery in the Maryland Campaign. The Artillery Atlas of Antietam explores the contribution of the artillery in the Maryland Campaign and presents new insights through the lens of topography\, geography\, and the words of those who made history. Join the Antietam Institute on August 24\, to meet authors\, Aaron Holley and James Rosebrock during their talk\, “Make me a Map”: The Creation of the Artillery Atlas of Antietam. \nOrganizer: Antietam Institute \nLocation: St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, 209 W Main Street Sharpsburg \nSource: View original event

SUMMARY:Crow Club: "A Case of Mice and Murder" by Sally Smith
DESCRIPTION:A group of crows is a murder—but The Crow Club meets to solve murders\, one book at a time. Welcome to the Four Seasons Mystery/Thriller club\, where sharp minds gather and curiosity takes flight. Think clever puzzles\, heart-pounding suspense\, and lively conversations that bring people together as much as the books themselves. \nWhether you consider yourself a master detective or just someone who enjoys a book keeping you on the edge\, you’ll find a welcoming flock of readers who love sharing ideas\, swapping theories\, and building connections with every clue. We don’t brood in dark corners; we trade theories\, laugh at wildly wrong guesses\, and celebrate the joy of uncovering secrets one page at a time. \nJoining The Crow Club means embracing your inner sleuth—no deerstalker hat required\, though highly encouraged for dramatic effect. If you enjoy clever storytelling and the triumphant gasp when you crack the case before the final chapter\, it’s time to join the flock. \nWe will be meeting on the fourth Tuesday of the month (unless a different date is provided due to the facilitator or store schedule demands) in the upstairs community space of the store. \nBook club members receive 10% off the monthly selection. Copies will always be available in-store and often also on Libro.fm for audio download. \nAll readers are welcome\, whether you have read the book or not.\nAt Four Seasons Books\, book clubs are about community\, not completion. \n*No registration required\, just come by the store for the meeting.* \nOrganizer: Four Seasons Books \nLocation: 114 W German St\, Shepherdstown\, WV\, United States\, West Virginia 25443 \nSource: View original event
