Book: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan

Theme: Moral courage, community reflection. A short, powerful winter read suited to quiet reflection and meaningful discussion.

Join the Mayor’s Book Club (Mayor John Irrgang), a new opportunity to foster community discussion around various topics. No rsvp expected, we’re happy to have you drop in!

You can borrow a copy of any of these books at the Batesville Memorial Public Library. If you’d like your own copy, we encourage you to support our local bookstore, The Bookshelf, on Walnut Street. If you are an online shopper, you can order online and still support The Bookshelf by going to Bookshop.org.

Our goal for these meetings is to unearth ideas and inspiration to take back to our neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and service organizations to build a better community. Remember, you do not need to RSVP. We’re excited to see you there!
