Loudoun County Public Library

History with a side of beer in Purcellville

Fort Sumter is known for its famous battle at the start of the Civil War. But the grueling, sustained campaign to control it ─ and thus Charleston ─ until the war’s closing days is often forgotten. Historian Craig Swain will detail the efforts to hold the crucial military objective during the next installment of History and Hops at Dragon Hops Brewing.

Get your garden ready for spring

A new planting season is nearly here, and the library has a number of workshops with Master Gardeners to help you get ready. Discover tips for growing great vegetables, draw inspiration from the gardens of Germany or edible landscapes, learn how to identify the invasive spotted lanternfly, or take advantage of container gardening.

Explore Loudoun's many faith groups

Join over a dozen representatives of Loudoun’s congregations in this annual series celebrating the history, music and symbols of our faith communities. A different religion will be featured each week at Cascades and Purcellville libraries.
