The Community Library Book Club is hosted the first Wednesday of every other month and led by a diverse range of library staff. Books cover all genres from new fiction to classics to nonfiction, young adult, graphic novels, and everything in between. December 2024's selection is "Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones" by James Clear. The discussion will be led by communications manager Kyla Merwin. No matter your goals, "Atomic Habits" offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you’ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights. More from the author here.

Reflections on the Nativity of Christ: A Service of Lessons, Carols and Poetry Offered by St. Thomas Episcopal Church and St. Thomas Playhouse 201 Sun Valley Road December 8, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. The Anglican tradition of offering a service of Lessons and Carols during the Christmas holiday season began in the late 19 th century in Cornwall, England and quickly became a widespread and beloved practice. The story of the Creation and the fall of humanity, the promise of a Messiah and the Birth of Christ is told through readings of scripture and the singing of hymns. More than a decade ago, St. Thomas added selections of poetry to engage our imaginations and enhance our experience of wonder at these holy mysteries. This year’s featured poets represent a diversity of voices and thought, from a nun writing in the 17 th century to young poets working in the 21 st century. Each brings their own unique observation of the common experience of being human, and as such we believe they are a powerful accompaniment to our sacred stories. All are welcome and invited to join us as we welcome the coming of winter and the holiday season. A festive ...
