Sociologist Ray Oldenberg's book The Great Good Place suggests that to lead a rewarding life, each of us needs three places. First is the home. Second is the workplace or school. Beyond lies the place where people from all walks of life and all social levels interact, experiencing and celebrating their commonality as well as their diversity. It is a third place. Third Place Books is the deliberate and intentional creation of a community of booklovers, a fun, comfortable and safe place to browse, linger, lounge, relax, read, eat, laugh, play, talk, listen and just watch the world go by.

We invite you to make Third Place Books your third place.

Other Info
Randy Sue Coburn and Carol Cassella discuss things with the Third Place Book Club.

In her third novel, following Owl Island, Randy Sue's exploration of the tender bond between fathers and daughters is set in the lush splendor of Hawai'ï, where even the calming waters and traditions can't dispel Stevie Pollack's troubling memories of her childhood.

Author Stephanie Kallos says, "Like her protagonist, Carol Cassella has the heart of a poet and the mind of a physician; the result is a striking meditation on the complexities of love, the fragile miracle that is the human body and the burdens and blessings of being a healer." Join our discussion of this gripping debut novel, Oxygen, and meet the author, who will attend our meeting.
