Events › Abby Wambach's "Wolfpack" Weekly Discussion Group

According to Volunteer Amy Segeren,

"A couple years ago, a friend gave me a copy of Abby Wambach's Wolfpack. It changed my life. In the 93 pages of this book, 

• I cried
• I laughed
• I got goosebumps
• I got angry
• and I got focused

I shared and discussed this book with hundreds of women and men and each time I take away more.

Bringing this book and discussion to our local library is an exciting next step in the evolution of this topic. This 6 week program is for those that love to read, those that are looking for a pack, those that have a pack and want to further empower it, those that have felt “I’ve been the only one … “. As Abby says, the best way to approach anything new is to “show up, awkwardly and nervously sometimes, and try.”

This book club will be a bit different. We will take each chapter of the book, break it down, discuss it, listen to each other’s stories, successes, failures, and commit to action. All you need is a copy of the book, a commitment to read one or two chapters a week (usually less than 10 pages!) and an interest in investing in yourself and your pack.

I cannot wait to share and learn from you over the 6 weeks!"

NOTE:  Please note that there are two versions of this book:  one in white, which is for adults and one in black, which is for youth.  Please be sure to borrow the adult version in either our catalog or on LINK+.
