SUMMARY:Prichard Lecture featuring Evan Friss
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 Edward F. Prichard Lecture\, featuring Dr. 
 Evan Friss\, professor of history and author of The Bookshop: A History of 
 the American Bookstore.\n\nFriss will discuss how the now “endangered 
 species” of the independent bookstore has long influenced peoples’ 
 reading tastes\, fostered community\, and shaped political views. Along the 
 way he’ll weave vivid stories from his wide-ranging research\, drawn from 
 archives\, paper records\, oral history interviews\, and visits to over 100 
 bookstores around the country. \n\nFriss currently teaches US urban and 
 public history at James Madison University.\n\nThe Prichard Lecture is free 
 and open to the public. A book signing will follow the lecture\, and copies 
 of The Bookshop will be available for sale. RSVPs are 
 appreciated.\n\n\nSince its inception in 1977\, the Edward F. Prichard 
 Lecture Series has featured nationally acclaimed authors\, journalists\, 
 historians\, and public figures. The Prichard Lecture is made possible by 
 an endowment created by Edward F. Prichard\, Jr.\, a New Deal activist who 
 later championed educational change in Kentucky.
