All Fairfax Reads is an annual program that encourages our community to come together for a shared reading experience. This year, in honor of what would have been her 250th birthday, we will be reading the Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice, and pairing it with a variety of events, perfect for the most ardent devotees and casual admirers alike.

Born in 1775, Jane Austen's novels continue to endure today - especially Pride and Prejudice. Published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of Austen's most popular and widely adapted novels. Its timeless characters, sharp social commentary, ironic humor, emotional resonance and universal themes have captivated readers across generations.

Cosponsored by the Fairfax Library Foundation.
