Chairs: Jennifer McCabe & Shana Frazin (SMS Librarian)

The SMS Community Book Club is excited to announce our book selection for quarter 2. 

For quarter two, we will complement our reading of Behind Their Screens with The Gifts of Imperfection: 10th Anniversary Edition by Brene Brown. 

For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. 

Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.”
