This year’s Book Club selection is The Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community by Ray Oldenburg, Ph.D.

WHERE: The Pub at Ravenna Third Place
WHEN: Friday, Aug. 6 at 5:00 p.m.

Our “first place” is home. Our “second place” is work. The Great Good Place argues that "third places" - where people can gather, put aside the concerns of work and home, and hang out simply for the pleasures of good company and lively conversation - are the heart of a community's social vitality and the grassroots of democracy. Let’s talk about the book at a Great, Good, Third Place, shall we? Special guest: Constance Perenyi, Executive Director, Friends of Third Place Commons. Constance oversees what makes TPC a great, good place!
