Book Discussion - "Palaces for the People"
Monday, Jan. 27, Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg, with Rabbi Nosanchuk and Religious School teacher Julianna Senturia. In this time of deep divisions, Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn’t seen since the Civil War. With a growing outcry for us to come together and find common purpose, this book suggests a way forward that the future of democratic societies needs not simply shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, and religious institutions, where connections can be formed.
This book is also the Cleveland Reads selection, a community-wide reading initiative involving City Club of Cleveland, Playhouse Square, and all nine local public library systems.
