Like to read, but prefer to learn about the world when you do?  Consider joining our non-fiction book club! 

Our first read is an important one.  We often have goals and ideas about how to accomplish them.  But what if the information we’ve based our thinking on is inaccurate, incomplete, or downright false?  Samuel Spitale gives us much to think about, in a fun, illustrated, and thought-provoking guide.  If you like to read, but don’t have the time, consider listening to the audio book, available on our Libby app!  Even better, the author will be visiting on November 19!

Reading book: 

How to Win the War on Truth is an illustrated guide to debunking misperceptions, falsehoods, and fake news that cloud the media landscape. It exposes how the powerful use the tools of persuasion to influence public opinion and sell us ideas that enrich themselves at the public’s expense. It examines how these ideas impact our lives, and it argues that understanding this is key to making informed decisions and protecting our democracy.
