A Community-wide Reading Initiative

Join Tulsa County residents in reading this inspiring novel, which follows the life of a small-town woman as she reflects on her rural lifestyle that is giving way to progress in the name of development. Many of the themes covered in the book mirror the challenges faced by rural and urban families today. The author, Wendell Berry, an American writer and farmer, will be in Tulsa Dec. 7 and 8 to receive the Tulsa Library Trust’s Peggy V. Helmerich Distinguished Author Award.

Using “Hannah Coulter” as a conversation starter, this year’s One Book, One Tulsa initiative will focus on food, gardening, health and sustainability with more than 40 free programs scheduled at area libraries throughout the year.

If you are an expert in food, gardening, health, sustainability, or a related topic and would like to explore an unpaid partnership with the library to present your knowledge in a public forum, please contact Louan Torres at ltorres@tulsalibrary.org or 918.549.7364.
