Community Read

The Least of Us

The Least of Us by Sam Quinones

Wednesday, September 24 from 5:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m.

Anyone can take a free copy from the library without a library card and the book is theirs to keep! Special speakers Virginia Besant and Alicia Dean, both Peer Recovery Coaches, will share their personal recovery journeys and advocate for individuals dealing with substance use disorders. The goal of this community talk is to humanize addiction while addressing the hope for its reduction. Additionally, we will cover some informational points related to the topic.
