Have you read a good book lately that you think would make a good book in common? Please let us know on this google form. The selection committee for the Book in Common is meeting to choose the book for 2026-27, and we would appreciate your suggestions.
This year's book in common, California Against the Sea, is available at the Meriam Library, 3rd floor. The book examines how the iconic 1200-mile California coastline has been shaped by human engineering. What can be done to work with the forces of nature, rather than against them, to restore and preserve the coastline in the face of climate change and sea level rise? Author Rosanna Xia will give a public talk at Laxson Auditorium on April 2. Look for details on events at the Book in Common website.
