It can be a challenge to make time for talking about books with colleagues, and we know from years of success that colleagues who make that time are pleased with their investment.\u00a0 One reading circle participant shared: “I never make time for this kind of thing, but it is so inspiring to be here talking with colleagues about ideas!” Another shared: “I look forward to our reading circles so much. I love that we do this!”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

\nThe common goal of all three reading circles this semester is to welcome faculty and academic staff together in learning community. Join us to witness, celebrate, and discover firsthand that all \u201cgifts are multiplied in relationship with others\u201d (Kimmerer qtd. In Montgomery, <\/span>Lessons from Plants, <\/span><\/i>p. 102).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Books are available for participants in each reading circle. If you receive a copy, please strive to attend all of the reading circle\u2019s sessions. <\/span><\/p>\n
