Discussion Group Help
Is there a group I can join? Can my book group
partner with another for a combined discussion? Are
there individuals who might join my group to discuss
The Things They Carried? How do we get a
trained discussion leader? For help with these
questions, please call 553-7913. Book sets
available.

These free training sessions will provide
background information on the issues raised by The
Things They Carried as well as on the historical
context and literary merit of the book. The sessions
will also offer tips from experienced leaders on
guiding book discussions, suggestions for mediating
difficult interactions, and exercises for building
relationships between discussion group members.
Lists of related resources and a free reader's guide
will be distributed. Those who take the training may
be asked to join the library's list of volunteer
facilitators for Reading Together discussion groups.
This is a free program; registration is required.
For more information, or to register to attend the
training sessions for The Things They Carried,
please call the Reading Together coordinator, Joan
Hawxhurst, at 553-7913.
