Book Résumés

Book Résumés help teachers, librarians, parents, and community members defend books from censorship. They detail each title's significance and educational value and are easy to share with administrators, book review committees, elected officials, and board members.

Bookmark this page! Thousands of library books face censorship, so new book résumés are added on a regular basis.

Not your average paint and sip: Purcellville Drink and Draw events take embracing your inner artist to a new level

Not your average paint and sip: Purcellville Drink and Draw events take embracing your inner artist to a new level

Loudoun Co. Drink and Draw events take embracing your inner artist to a new level!

You might be familiar with the concept of paint and sip — but how about something with a little more of an edge?

In today's episode of "Matt About Town," WTOP's Matt Kaufax traveled deep into Loudoun County, where he found that, with enough determination and beer, anyone can become the artist behind their very own masterpiece!

Check out Matt's video, where he and several others (with help from local artist Kevin Bednarz) take their best shot at drawing TV characters from popular shows at the first event of its kind in Purcellville, Virginia.

If you've got an idea for a feature story Matt should cover, reach out via the WTOP "contact us" page to submit your idea.

You can also contact Matt directly. His contact information is listed below.
