San Mateo Book Club Meeting

If “read more books” is on your New Years Resolution list then you are in luck! Here in San Mateo, there is a great opportunity to be more involved with your community while reading and learning more.

There will be a book discussion of “When Things Fall Apart- Heart Advice for Difficult Times” by Pema Chodron on January 9th from 6-7:45pm in the Cedar Room at the Main Library.

Through reflections on the teachings of mindfulness, Pema Chodron orients readers and gives them language with which to shape their thinking about the ordinary and extraordinary traumas of modern life. Connect with others who are seeking to become more aware of themselves and the world around them. Read Chapters 7-8 in advance and come ready to discuss them. For more information call (650) 522-7847 or email dscheifler@cityofsanmateo.org.

Meet like minded people in San Mateo and enjoy checking a goal off of your 2012 New Years Resolution list!
