SUMMARY:Monday Morning Book Club: The Glass Chateau
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion of The Glass Chateau by Stephen Kiernan\, a moving novel of hope\, healing\, and the redemptive power of art set in post–World War II France. In the aftermath of the war\, Asher\, a former Resistance assassin haunted by loss and guilt\, wanders through a devastated country searching for purpose. His journey leads him to the Château Guerin\, an unlikely sanctuary where damaged survivors find solace by transforming sand into stained glass for France’s shattered cathedrals. As Asher discovers his own talent for the craft\, he must navigate hidden identities\, lingering resentments\, and fragile alliances among the chateau’s residents. Through shared creation and hard-won trust\, the novel explores how broken individuals can begin to heal—and help rebuild a broken nation. Copies are available at the first-floor circulation desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: Mindful Democracy and a Declaration of Interdependence
DESCRIPTION:Democracy is often framed as a contest between political candidates or parties competing for power. But it can also be understood as a shared system of self-governance—one in which everyone has a stake in protecting and sustaining it. In this month’s Democracy in Our Time program\, we’ll listen to and discuss a podcast conversation with Jeremy David Engels about his book\, On Mindful Democracy: A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World. Engels explores the idea of “mindful democracy\,” drawing on democratic theory as well as practices like yoga\, meditation\, and Buddhism. As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence\, Engels invites us to consider the idea of a “declaration of interdependence” and what it might mean for civic life today. The conversation also touches on different visions of democracy from thinkers such as John Dewey and Walter Lippmann.
