Book Club Launch - Logistics

Welcome to the Housing Book Club Engagement Site - we are excited you joined us! You can participate in many ways.

Feel free to join us in our in-person discussions happening at the Mesa County Library. Register Online. You can view the dates and times in the Key Dates Section of this project.

Several times over the Fall Session we will include a resource list of interesting housing, unhoused, or key information you might find helpful in enriching your knowledge around the topic. We will also let you know of upcoming events or other housing opportunities happening in the community.

For Online Participants: Feel free to join on a similar reading schedule outlined below, or join the conversation at your own pace! Each chapter/section will have unique questions that you can participate in. You'll find chapter by chapter discussion forums in the "chapter discussions" tab.
