AGENDA

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the FDR Presidential Library and Museum will host the annual Roosevelt Reading Festival. This day-long program will highlight the recently published work of fifteen authors -- including a special America 250 afternoon presentation with Mary E. Stuckey, author of REMEMBERING JEFFERSON: WHO HE WAS, WHO WE ARE. The festival will be held in the Henry A. Wallace Center. Free public event, registration is not required.

“Long a fan of Jefferson, FDR found him both personally inspiring and politically useful … considering Jefferson to represent the most important national values.” - Mary E. Stuckey

In six concurrent sessions taking place throughout the day, fifteen authors of works that draw upon the Roosevelt Library archives -- or focus on the Roosevelt era -- will present author talks (and book signings). Copies of all the books will be available for sale in the New Deal Store. The program begins at 9:45 a.m. with coffee and refreshments.
