Cultivating Community Book Group with Trish Roberts –discusses We Should Get Together

Cultivating Community Book Group with Trish Roberts at Putney Public Library
Let’s get together to talk about how to build stronger connections in our lives and cultivate a deeper sense of belonging in our community.
Each month we will read a book, published within the last three years, that offers inspiring, actionable advice on how to grow a more connected world. We’ll gather once a month to discuss the various tips, strategies and activities offered in each book and brainstorm ways to put these ideas into practice in our lives. Our first meeting, on Wednesday, January 24 from 6:30-8 PM at Putney Library, we’ll discuss the book We Should Get Together by Kat Vellos. Putney Library cardholders can pick up a copy at the library.
According to the publisher, We Should Get Together is, “the handbook for anyone who’s ready for better friendships, now. Millions of adults struggle with an uncomfortable and persistent ache: platonic longing, which is the unfulfilled wish for authentic, resilient, close friendships. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Making and maintaining friendships during adulthood can be hard—or, with a bit of intention and creativity, joyful. Combining expert research and personal stories pulled from conversations with hundreds of adults, We Should Get Together is the modern handbook for making and maintaining stronger friendships.”
