The Altus Public Library is presenting a “Let’s Talk About it, Oklahoma” reading and discussion series, “The Worst Hard Time Revisited: Oklahoma in the Dust Bowl Years,” starting tomorrow, Aug. 27 and continuing through Oct. 1.

Kicking off the theme is “Women of the Great Plains in the Dust Bowl Era” featuring Dr. Sara Richter, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Oklahoma Panhandle State University. She will offer insights drawn from survivors of the “Dust Bowl.”

The series includes a couple of overlooked classics that were overshadowed by “The Grapes of Wrath” as well as some contemporary looks at this critical decade.

Programs begin at 7 p.m. and each program is opened by a guest speaker who will provide background on the authors, books, and theme, followed by small group discussions.
