Intimidated by the so-called "Great Books" and all that critical thinking stuff? Many people are, especially they you go it alone. Join some like-minded friends for a little mental workout to keep your brain in good shape! Copies of discussion materials will be available at the adult circulation desk. Here's how it works: stop by the Library and pick up the selected readings (either copies or books), read the material, show up and join the discussion. Then pick up the next months' materials at the same time! This group will be facilitated by local resident and scholar David Schiller.  No experience with critical thinking discussion groups is necessary.  Groups are drop-in (no registration). Copies available at the adult circulation desk one month prior to discussion.  https://charltonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/critical-thinking-discussion-group-5/
