Mayor’s Book Club and Strong Towns Meetings

Join the Mayor’s Book Club, a new opportunity to foster community discussion around various topics. No rsvp expected, we’re happy to have you drop in!

In January, March, May, July, September, and November, Mayor John Irrgang will participate in a discussion about a different book each month (see the list below). You can borrow a copy of any of these books at the Batesville Memorial Public Library. If you’d like your own copy, we encourage you to support our local bookstore, The Bookshelf, on Walnut Street. If you are an online shopper, you can order online and still support The Bookshelf by going to Bookshop.org.

In February, April, June, August, October, and December, we’ll take a deep dive into a specific section of “Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity by Charles L. Marohn Jr.” (keep an eye on these updates to see what chapters we’ll be covering for that date). Our goal for these meetings is to unearth ideas and inspiration to take back to our neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and service organizations to build a better community.

Remember, you do not need to RSVP. We’re excited to see you there!
