Let’s Talk About it, Oklahoma Returns to The Museum Broken Arrow

For Immediate Release: Jan. 9, 2017

The Museum Broken Arrow will host their second annual reading program sponsored by Oklahoma Humanities beginning Feb. 2 at The Museum Broken Arrow, 400 S. Main St. in Broken Arrow. Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma will be held on the first Thursday of each month, February through June. Each free session begins at 6:30 p.m. and will showcase a different book.

The 2017 Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma series will be themed “Working to Survive, Surviving to Work” and will explore the aspect of work in relation to humanity. A scholar from the region will come to the Museum to lead the discussion of each novel. In addition, books will be provided for all registered participants but must be returned each month.

“We are thrilled to be hosting our second free reading program and are excited to see how this excellent selection of literature inspires our participants,” said Lori Lewis, executive director of The Museum Broken Arrow. “The theme of “Working to Survive, Surviving to Work” will provide for a deep delve into the psychology of honest work, the existential meaning of life to individuals and the way work is intertwined with the quest for human dignity.”

Selected books include “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair, “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America” by Barbara Ehrenreich, “Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street” by Herman Melville and “The Cliff Walk: A Job Lost and a Life Found” by Don J. Snyder.  

Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma space is limited to the first 30 participants. Individuals interested in attending the series can pick-up their first literary selection at The Museum Broken Arrow.
