Let’s Talk About It

 

Let’s Talk About It, a facilitated book discussion program, is a staple of Ocean Park and local libraries throughout Maine. This season’s theme is “Entering Nature: Contemporary Views of the Human Self in the Natural World.”

The five books in this series address in interesting and distinctive ways the affinities that unite and the distances that separate the human and the nonhuman. The program is supported by the Ocean Park Association, the Maine Humanities Council, Maine State Library and the Maine Community Foundation.

Participants are invited to any one or all of the programs. All meetings are on Thursdays from 11:00 am to 12:15 pm in Porter or Jordan Hall. Our returning discussion leader is Jeff Aronson, an educator and independent scholar from Vinalhaven, Maine. Suggested donation: $10.The books in this series can be borrowed from the OPA office:
