The Shawnee Public Library continues its series of reading and discussion programs that explore the history, mystery and romance of an American icon, Route 66. The series continue through September with two more books.
Books, theme materials and services for this series are provided by “Let’s Talk About It, Oklahoma,” a cooperative project of the Oklahoma Library Association and the Oklahoma Humanities Council.
“West on 66,” by James Cobb, is the third book in the series and is a mystery set in the 1950s which takes its characters along the 2,000 miles of Route 66. A souped-up ’57 Chevy, a beautiful woman and a lost treasure are all part of the story. Trisha Yarbrough, professor of English and Languages and director of the Honors Program at East Central University, will be the discussion leader Thursday, Sept. 10, 7 p.m.
The final book in the series will be “Rt. 66 Remembered,” by Michael Witzel. Dr. Terry Britton, president of Rose State College, will be the discussion leader. The book is a nostalgic recollection of the roadside attractions along Route 66.
To sign up for the programs and check out the books, participants can drop by the Shawnee library’s adult information desk. The first book is available now.
For more information, call the library at 275-6353.
