Common Read
The 1U Common Read book group creates community for learning and reflection. When we do a 1U Common Read together, we share in reflection, learning, and action. This can take us on a powerful journey into what it means to be human and accountable in a world filled with both pain and joy.
Group participants suggest titles to be read and discussed, which have been mostly non-fiction books so far. The group meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, 7:30-9:00pm, discussing the same title at both sessions. All are welcome to participate.
