Timothy Egan September 13, 2012

The Orem Library will kickoff the fifth annual Orem Reads series with a visit from National Book Award Winning author Timothy Egan. His book, The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl, is considered a modern classic and is also the basis for a new documentary on the Dust Bowl being released by Ken Burns this November. Free copies of the book will be distributed after the event, while supplies last. Egan will also stay after the event to sign books and meet audience members.
