Books That Will Change Your Life: A Nonfiction Book Club

Join librarians Dennis and Elizabeth for a monthly conversation around a life-changing nonfiction book.  Each month we’ll select a book that will change your perspective, give you new strategies for handling life’s challenges, or deepen your understanding of a topic.

Some of the books have been recommended by local community leaders who told us which books inspired them in their lives and work. Other selections are our favorites or are popular with you, our patrons (based on length of holds lists or number of checkouts), or have otherwise won acclaim.

This month we will be reading How to change your mind: what the new science of psychedelics teaches us about consciousness, dying, addiction, depression, and transcendence which was released as a Netflix 4-episode documentary in July of 2022.

Limited copies of the book will be available to pick up starting 4/26/2023 at the Central Library Pickup Window.
