On Thursday, March 4, from noon to 1 p.m., Way Public Library will host an online book discussion about “Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth” by Sarah Smarsh.

Part memoir, part social analysis, part cultural commentary, “Heartland” is a look at class, identity and the perils of economic hardship in a wealthy nation. The event will be led by Stephanie Coil, and it is sponsored by Way Public Library Foundation & Friends.

Ms. Smarsh’s newest book, “She Come By It Natural,” will be the focus of another online book discussion on Thursday, April 8, from noon to 1 p.m.

There also will be an opportunity to hear Ms. Smarsh during an online author’s visit to Owens Community College on Wednesday, April 28.

Books are available to check out at the library’s circulation desk.

To register for the book discussions, visit way library.info or call 419-874-3135, extension 130.
