Elastic Mind Book Discussion Group

The Friends of the Library are sponsoring The Elastic Mind: an Open Book Discussion group. Everyone is welcome. The group led by Joanna Fenn discuss many different books and subjects. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month from 1:00 - 2:30 in the Guanajuato Meeting Room at the library.

"It's an unusual book group," admits facilitator Joanna Fenn. The Elastic Mind reads serious books, "those books we tend to push off," Joanna says.

Participants read several books for each topic and then explore the ideas they raise. "It gives everybody a chance to talk, to open their minds, to give their opinions, which often are quite irreverent and not politically correct," says Joanna. "Everyone likes to listen and talk even if they don't quite agree."

You can meet her online - just search Joanna Fenn on YouTube - and get a taste of her humor, her poetry and her style. Joanna was a guest of Open Books Open Minds in October 2008, delighting viewers and her interviewer, Amy Blossom.

For more information on The Elastic Mind, email: joannafenn@jeffnet.org

For the latest topic, call the Ashland Library at 541-774-6996.
