    All aboard for the final leg of our tour around the world, with Sweden, Nigeria, and Spain! Join us the third Tuesday of each month where we will discuss a title set in a different country and/or written by a foreign author.

    When you register, we will reserve a copy of the book for you - no need to place a hold, unless you would like to enjoy the book in a different format. This is the last chance to get your Reader's Passport stamped before the summer!

    For many, this art is considered “yoga for the brain”, since it has calming and stress relieving effects on the people that practice it. It can also improve one’s confidence and concentration.  It allows you to let go of expectations, and really live in the moment without having to worry about anything else. 

    Cet art est considéré comme un « yoga pour le cerveau », car il a des effets calmants et anti-stress sur les personnes qui le pratiquent. Cela peut également améliorer la confiance et la concentration. Il vous permet d'abandonner vos attentes et de vraiment vivre l'instant présent sans avoir à vous soucier de quoi que ce soit d'autre.
