Net Tuesday: Book Unclub
Book Unclub
For our December Net Tuesday, we're trying something different; a Book Unclub to talk about books related to:
- social media / social networking,
- nonprofit technology, and/or
- social change
It will be held on December 1 (6:30 PM @ Robin's Bookstore / Moonstone Arts Center, 110A S. 13th St., 2nd floor). (NOTE DIFFERENT VENUE and TIME)
In the spirit of unconferences, the specific books to be discussed (in breakout groups) will be selected that evening by those who show up. RSVP's are appreciated but NOT requried. Just bring yourself (and, if you can, bring some books to show, share, read from, lend, sell or give away).
You're also invited to suggest books that you've read (or heard about) and would like to discuss with others via this form: http://is.gd/4Wly4 . And you can see the spreadsheet of titles suggested by others here: http://is.gd/4WlBz . Entering a book here does NOT obligate you to "present" on it, or even to show up on December 1; it's just to get the juices flowing. You can enter as many books as you like, as long as they are relevant to the scope described above, and you feel they are important or meaningful. And it's fine (in fact, it would be useful) for different people to enter the same book.
We greatly appreciate Robin's Bookstore for providing space for this event. (Please feel free to bring your own food and drink.) Robin's will offer a discount (usually 20% for non-academic books) for books ordered that evening (for delivery a couple of days later).
