We invite families, staff, and community members to read The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt this summer. Four Wednesday evenings in July, we will host discussions about the book and what it describes as the “great rewiring of childhood.”

Visit the Family Digital Citizenship webpage to learn more and to register for the community conversations. There are a limited number of free books available thanks to the generosity of the Glastonbury Rotary Club.
