Good Place Philosophy Book Club

Join us at the MLPL Good Place Philosophy Book Club! We meet three times in the spring, and three times in the fall. See below for dates.

On the sitcom THE GOOD PLACE (NBC 2016-2020), the character Chidi Anagony read a lot of philosophy books. In this book club we will read and discuss some of the books he mentioned on the show! Books will be available at the library, on the book club display near the elevators. If you need help finding a title, ask someone at the Reference Desk or the Circulation Desk. Questions? Ask MLPL Librarian Eric.

 Feel free to come to one meeting, a few, or all!
