Adult Reading Programs Group Discussion Library Extension Literature Appreciation Outreach Programs Postsecondary Education Program Descriptions Recreational Reading Thematic Approach The "Let's Talk about It" program began in Vermont as a reading and discussion group based in local libraries and grew into a program in 30 states and supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The program brought together a diverse audience of adults to read books on selected themes in literature. Humanities scholars enriched the discussion with biographical information on the author, provided contextual perspectives from the literary tradition or historical era, and acted as a catalyst for discussion. The programs often drew overflow crowds. Although the NEH program has officially ended, reading and discussion programs continue to thrive. (RS) |
