💡 Summer reading isn't just for patrons.

Join us for our next Book Club discussion as we read "Flourish: The Art of Building Meaning, Joy, and Fulfillment" by Daniel Coyle. Through research, storytelling, and practical insights, the book explores what helps people and organizations build connection, purpose, resilience, and wellbeing.

Facilitated by Andrew Whitis, this two-part discussion is a chance to connect with colleagues, reflect on ideas that resonate with your work, and explore ways to help your library (and yourself!) flourish.

📚 Part 1: July 15, Noon-1 p.m.
📚 Part 2: July 29, Noon-1 p.m.

Be sure to register for both sessions. Details and registration links are available in our blog post: https://www.ohionet.org/blog/july-ohionet-book-club-flourish-by-daniel-coyle
