For this book discussion, participants are reading and discussing six Iowa memoirs in order to come away with a richer appreciation of Iowa's past and a deeper understanding of who we are as Iowans. Sessions are led by scholar Allison McNeese and are at 7:00 pm on alternating Thursdays from March 14-June 6. Join us tonight as we discuss the book A Lucky American Childhood by Paul Engle. Copies of the book are available to check out from the library.

Other books to discuss in this series are: A Good Days Work: An Iowa Farm in the Great Depression by Dwight Hoover; The Farm at Holstein Dip: An Iowa Boyhood by Carroll Engelhardt; Out of this World by Mary Swander; and By the Iowa Sea by Joe Blair.
