The Smallest State has Plenty to Read! | Reading Road Trip Rhode Island

In partnership with the Library of Congress Centers for the Book, American Stories: A Reading Road Trip shines a spotlight on individual U.S. states and select territories to uncover their one-of-a-kind literary treasures. From iconic authors and unforgettable books to hidden-gem bookstores, amazing libraries, and the real-life locations that inspired great works, this cross-country adventure celebrates the stories that have shaped our shared identity. Along the way, we'll meet bestselling authors, passionate booksellers, and local storytellers —plus share highlights from local programs and events hosted by each state's Center for the Book —revealing how their corner of America has left its mark on the nation's imagination. Aligned with America's 250th birthday, each episode invites viewers to explore the heart, history, and creative spirit of the United States —all through the lens of books and storytelling. New episodes will stream on select Wednesdays at 8pm EST on the PBS Books YouTube channel, pbsbooks.org, the PBS Books Facebook page, and the PBS app. Explore our website: https://pbsbooks.org Subscribe to our newsletter: https://pbsbooks.org/subscribe Join the Readers Club:   / pbsbooksreadersclub   Support us: https://pbsbooks.org/donate Find your next book: https://pbsbooks.org/bookshop #pbsbooks #pbs #author #bookclub #books Explore our website: https://pbsbooks.org Subscribe to our newsletter: https://pbsbooks.org/subscribe Join the Readers Club:   / pbsbooksreadersclub   Support us: https://pbsbooks.org/donate Find your next book: https://pbsbooks.org/bookshop #pbsbooks #pbs #author #bookclub #books
