Let’s Talk About It

This is a program that supports reading and discussion in libraries throughout the state of Idaho. It was suspended (and sorely missed!) during the pandemic. Happily, these lively discussions will be returning to Idaho libraries in the fall.

I’ve been a scholar for this program for I-don’t-know-how-many years. I have found every book, every library, every group of people to be interesting and stimulating. Every discussion brings new ideas and surprises.

In the spring I served on the Program Committee, a group of teachers, writers, and librarians tasked with refreshing the LTAI themes and selecting new books. Too bad there’s not a billion dollar budget! We could have spent it all. There are just so many wonderful books that people could read and discuss together. I was tasked with updating the Science and Technology selections. It’s all coming soon.

Let’s talk about it! Because literature brings people together.
