Cornwall Public Library is organizing the 2012 local Great Decisions discussion group composed of interested individuals who want an opportunity to learn and participate in foreign policy discussions at a bi-weekly gathering. The group is centered around the Great Decisions briefing book. This well-researched annual publication provides 8 timely global topics to be read by group participants. Participants should read the briefing book articles prior to group meetings in order to guarantee that all discussion group members come together from the same point of reference, with the same facts and basic understanding of the issues to be discussed. Each participant’s point of view carries equal weight and everyone is encouraged to share opinions and ideas. Consensus is not a goal.

 

This year’s topics are:

·      State of the oceans 

·   When signing up, participants are agreeing to participate in all (or most) of the discussions, that will take place on a monthly basis.

·   You are urged to read the topic information prior to the group discussion, and do further research on the topic if you wish additional information.

 

The group will meet the 2^nd and 4^th Wednesdays of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the Library’s Community Room, beginning February 8^th. If you are interested in participating, please contact Karen LaRocca-Fels, Library Director, at 534-8282 (ext. 201) or via e-mail: [email protected].
