Thank You for Helping
to Create a Third Place
“Life without community has produced, for many, a life style consisting
mainly of a home-to-work-and-back-again shuttle. Social well-being and
psychological health depend upon community."
-Ray Oldenburg, author of Celebrating the Third Place and Great Good Places |

Blacksburg is Reading:
 KNOCKEMSTIFF
"Donald Ray Pollock gives us the impossible- fast, funny stories about the saddest people you'll ever meet in fiction... more engaging than any new fiction in years." -Chuck Palahniuk  People of the Book
From winner of
the Pulitzer prize Geraldine Brooks comes an intricate, ambitious novel
of richly imagined history and intimate emotional intensity.
People of the Book sweeps its readers on an intellectual adventure,
from convivencia Spain to the ruins of Sarajevo, from the silver age of
Venice to the sunburned rock faces of northern Australia.
 SLOW FOOD* Blue Ridge Convivium
Recommends:
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle:
A Year of Food Life
With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it.
*Slow Food is an
international eco-gastronomic organization founded to counteract fast
food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions, and
people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from,
and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
