Let’s Talk About It with Grace Olmstead

Let’s Talk About It with Grace Olmstead – Thursday, April 7 (11:15 am)

Our program partner, Let’s Talk About It, has invited author Grace Olmstead to discuss her book Uprooted: Recovering the Legacy of the Places We’ve Left Behind. This book relates Olmstead’s experiences in the small farming community surrounding Emmett, Idaho. It explores why some decide to stay, while others move on to greener pastures. Olmstead also questions what we owe to the generations who came before us, and how those who stay must contend with inevitable change brought on by government practices, farm policy, and environmental issues. Olmstead will discuss her book virtually. Register for the program here: libraries.idaho.gov/ltai/virtual-encore-2022/
