Hi everyone,

This July, we're hosting four Together O'Fallon focus group workshops centered on seniors, families and children, the military community, and outdoor spaces.
 
These conversations are an opportunity to share your ideas and help shape the future of library spaces and services. Whether a new library is built or not, your feedback will help us better serve our community for years to come. We hope you'll join the conversation.

The Measure

by Nikki Erlick

The Measure by Nikki Erlick is a thought-provoking novel that asks a compelling question: What if you could know exactly how long you have left to live? Through the interconnected stories of eight individuals faced with this choice, the novel explores how their decisions shape not only their own lives but also the world around them. As their journeys unfold, society itself begins to change. A perfect book club selection, this powerful story of family, friendship, hope, and destiny encourages readers to reflect on what it means to live life to the fullest.

Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman
Thinking, Fast and Slow expertly blends engaging storytelling with scientific research to explore how our minds make decisions. Drawing on decades of psychological studies, the book reveals the two systems that shape our thinking, judgments, and everyday choices. Even with my background in psychological research, I learned a great deal from reading this insightful and thought-provoking book. It's a fascinating look at why we think the way we do and how our minds can sometimes lead us astray.
