Theme information

This theme was adapted from several theme created for Let's Talk About It programs, including: "Women's Autobiography," developed by the American Library Association;

Books in this series include:

Maya Angelou I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings
Isadora Duncan My Life

"Working" looks at how the jobs we perform shape our identities. Whether in the quest for the "American Dream" or just making ends meet, work also may provide a more intangible reward--self esteem.

Idaho libraries have been bringing reading and discussion programs to their communities since 1985. The addition of a program speaker is what makes Let’s Talk About It (LTAI) different from a traditional book discussion program.
