In the Weeds Book Club: Featuring Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg

  • Mead Public Library 710 North 8th Street Sheboygan, WI, 53081 United States (map)

In the Weeds Book Discussion

In Palaces for the People, Eric Klinenberg shares his beliefs that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, churches, and parks where crucial connections are formed. Richly reported and ultimately uplifting, Palaces for the People offers a blueprint for bridging our seemingly unbridgeable divides.

We will meet in the Loft (3rd Floor) of Mead Public Library. Snack and refreshments will be provided.

The book is available for purchase at the Green Bicycle Co. shop or the audiobook is available through Libro.fm or check out your independent book shop of choice! Mead Public library options are shown below.

Join us for a discussion of the book including its overarching themes and principals and how these methods can be strategically applied to the City of Sheboygan. We invite organizations to share their work with opportunities for discussion and feedback.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Heather Cleveland via email at heather@greenbicycleco.com and place “Palaces for People” in the subject line.

RSVP is not required but helpful! If you plan to join us, please complete the form below.

There are several ways to obtain the books thanks to our partnership with Mead Public Library!

There are now copies of Strong Towns available for at the main service desk, if anyone in the group would like to check it out again (or for the first time) for the remaining sessions. Emergent Strategy will be available for checkout by April 13. The books are also available in other formats:
