	<li><strong>A Voice Was Sounding: A This Land Book Launch.</strong> We’ve had a busy year at <a href="http://www.thislandpress.com/" target="_blank">This Land Press</a>—we expanded to Oklahoma City, earned a batch of awards from local journalism organizations, and even got <a href="http://www.cjr.org/cover_story/made_you_me.php?page=all" target="_blank">a write-up in the Columbia Journalism Review</a>. We’ve put together a fall catalogue of books, too, and we’re proud to introduce the first in the series as part of this special evening. <a href="http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/events/this-land-book-launch-party/" target="_blank">Details on A Voice Was Sounding and the launch at DO WHAT</a>.</li>
	<li><strong>Booksmart Tulsa: Reinventing Bach</strong>. BookSmart Tulsa hosts author Paul Elie, who recently released his second book, which centers on how the work and music of Bach is at the root of the story of a revolution in music and technology. <a href="http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/events/booksmart-tulsa-reinventing-bach/" target="_blank">Details on Booksmart and Paul Elie at DO WHAT</a>.</li>
	<li><strong>Oklahoma Legends: A Celebration of our Heritage</strong>. Like the Kennedy Center Honors, Oklahoma style: The love fest centers on creators who hail from the state who have brought attention and honor to life and culture here, with S.E. Hinton being honored for film, Roy Clark for music, and N. Scott Momaday in poetry. The event will present some rare opportunities to see these culture-makers on stage. <a href="http://dowhat.thislandpress.com/events/oklahoma-legends-a-celebration-of-our-heritage/" target="_blank">Details on Celebrating our Heritage and where to get tickets at DO WHAT</a>.</li>
	<li><strong>Dare to Read: Teen Read Week</strong>. Books and zombies: A match made in heaven (or at least in your local reading nook). <a href="http://teens.tulsalibrary.org/tccl/teen-read-week" target="_blank">Check out the list of zombie-tastic events going on at Tulsa Library this month</a>. While you're there, be sure to jot down in your calendar the upcoming community discussion on the work of Wendell Berry (and his visit in December) and the visit from children's book author Mo Willems (author of <em>The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog</em>!).</li>
