Hello everyone, We have booked an excellent local author for next week.

The Things We Love is a fascinating and engaging exploration of our relationships with things including things in the natural world, things in the built environment, things we create, things we love to do, and more. Ahuvia incorporates research from psychology, neurology, and evolution, as well as his own groundbreaking original research from the field of marketing. He is currently an endowed professor at the University of Michigan- Dearborn. Please join us for his reading and book signing at the Harrison Township Public Library on September 10th at 1:00 pm, and share the attached flyer with anyone who may wish to attend. You can take his quick quiz online <https://thethingswelove.com/is-it-really-love-quiz/> to discover if your passionate relationship with books or other things qualifies as love.
