LET’S TALK ABOUT IT (LTAI): Southern Novels on Page & Screen

More than your average book club, these programs have the added bonus of Humanities scholars to broaden discussions! The series runs from the September 2024 to March 2025 as we read, watch, and then compare five novels to their film adaptations. 

Let’s Talk About It (LTAI) is intended for ages 18 and older
This program is made possible with a grant from SC Humanities.

Book registration begins August 12 at the 2nd floor Reference desk
Books will be available first come, first served
Movie viewings and book discussions take place in the 1st floor Meeting Room
