Join us on WebEx to discuss "The Gown: a novel of the royal wedding" by Jennifer Robson available in ebook on Hoopla Digital and in Large Print, audio and paperback for pick up at Central Library for registered participants. Adults, 18+.

"The Gown" is a historical novel about one of the most famous wedding dresses of the twentieth century—Queen Elizabeth's wedding gown—and the intriguing women who made it.
