Adult Book Club
SPL’s adult book club will read “Them: Why We Hate Each Other—and How to Heal” by Ben Sasse in May.
American life expectancy is declining for a third straight year. Birth rates are dropping. Nearly half of us think the other political party isn’t just wrong; they’re evil. We’re the richest country in history, but we’ve never been more pessimistic. What’s causing the despair? In “Them,” Ben Sasse argues that our crisis isn’t really about politics. It’s that we’re so lonely we can’t see straight, and it bubbles out as anger. The discussion occurs at 1 p.m. Thursday, May 29, in the downstairs meeting room. Copies of the novel are available at the Syracuse Public Library. A digital e-book and audiobook are available on the Libby and Hoopla apps.
