The Trouble with Boys: Book discussion

5:30 to 7 p.m.
Sheridan Co. Fulmer Public Library Inner Circle Room

We invite you to participate in a wonderful two-part book discussion at the Sheridan County Library which focuses on "The Trouble with Boys" by Peg Tyre. 

In the book, the author lays out a case for why parents, educators and the community needs to think about how we support boys within education at every stage. At each session, we'll hear from people in our own community and think together about the state of boys in this place.


Copies of the book are available for purchase in soft cover at Sheridan Stationary. Sheridan Fulmer Library will also have some books available through inter library loan.

A light dinner will be served. Please RSVP with Denise at 674-6446 ext. 4204 or dcanfield@sheridan.edu.
