NEXT WEEK—BOOK TALK: MEET ME AT THE LIBRARY
December 4 @ 10am PT / 1pm ET
ONLINE

America is facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, with troubling effects on our mental and physical health. We live in one of the most divisive times in our history, one in which we tend to work, play, and associate only with people who think as we do. How do we create spaces for people to come together—to open our minds, understand our differences, and exchange ideas?

Join Library Futures for a book talk and discussion with SHAMICHAEL HALLMAN, author of Meet Me at the Library, in conversation with SIERRA SANGETTI DANIELS (News Futures) and JENNIE GARNER (North Liberty Public Library).
