Please join us on Thursday, August 20 at 7:00 p.m. (Central) for our Texas Great Read book club discussion of SMALL TOWN AUTHOR by John R. Erickson (DBC 25548)
Every year, the Library of Congress asks each state Center for the Book to select a title that represents the state’s literary landscape to highlight at the National Book Festival. The event showcases the importance of books and reading. The festival is sponsored by the Library of Congress and takes place during Labor Day weekend in Washington, D.C.
In honor of this event, the Texas Talking Book Program will host a bonus book club meeting so that our patrons can participate in the Great Texas Read initiative. The Great Texas Read is an event sponsored by Texas Center for the Book.
Our book club discussions are held via Zoom, but you can join using just a telephone!
Participating is easy:
