The Resilience Book Club, at the behest of its most active participants, has morphed into Resilient Household Groups. We look forward to seeing you there!
Welcome to the Resiliency Book Club page for Northfield! Our original purpose is to:
-
Develop personal, household, and community resiliency through book, article, and short film discussions
-
Create a supportive group for people who are exploring new thinking and skills for an unknown future
-
Educate the Northfield community about transition topics in a face-to-face, in-depth club format.
We meet once per month at the Northfield Public Library meeting room, the second Monday of the month from 6:30-8:00 pm.
Here is a list of the books we have discussed, as well as tentative plans for upcoming books. Also, check the Transition Northfield calendar for details or changes.
