Text Box: Join the great conversation! For the past three years, the Charlotte Library has offered Great Books discussion groups as a forum for thoughtful teens and adults to read and discuss significant works of fiction, philosophy, political science, poetry, and drama. Great Books discussions follow the four rules of Shared Inquiry: Only those who have read the selection may take part in discussion. Discussion is restricted to the selection that everyone has read. Support for opinions should be found within the selection. Leaders may only ask questions—they may not answer them. Join us as we resume this discussion group on October 21 in the Spartan Room. Thanks to a contribution from Chester Township, there is no charge for the books used in the group, but you must register by calling Library Director Bill Siarny at 543-8859.
