Fiction and the Dust Bowl
Posted on February 12th, 2016
These works of fiction, all set in Dust Bowl-era America, depict the experiences of people living through this ecologically and economically devastating time. Topics include migration, unemployment, poverty, period art and music, and the determination to persevere.
Please visit Booth Library’s Marvin Foyer (just inside the north entrance) to check out the display, and to check out any of these books! All are available for borrowing.
This book display is a supporting exhibit for “Dust, Drought, and Dreams Gone Dry,” a national traveling exhibition about the causes and aftermath of the historic Dust Bowl period. This exhibition will be on display at Booth Library from Jan. 11 to Feb. 26, 2016.
