  • OTTAWA MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM 301 South Hickory Street Ottawa, KS, 66067 United States (map)

The Oz Museum Curator, Chris Glasgow, will lead us into the fascinating story behind L. Frank Baum's classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This talk explores the unique appeal and it's legacy on our culture from speech, to music, to media. This is a Humanities Kansas program. Join us Thursday, Feb. 23rd at 1 pm at the Ottawa Memorial Auditorium. Free and open to the public and all ages. We have a limited number of complimentary original "Wonderful Wizard of Oz" books by L. Frank Baum at the library. The book is different from the movie!
