Changemakers Book Club

Each year we gather as a community to read a book that sparks meaningful conversations and helps us engage more deeply with our neighbors—especially across differences.

This year we’ll be reading Stuck in Our Screens by Dr. Kathleen Allen, a powerful book about how phones and screens are reshaping communication and deepening polarization. The book offers practical strategies for both adults and children to reclaim healthy connection.

The Book Club will meet in person at Doane and virtually on the following date (6:00–7:00 PM):

April 30th
