“Shelf-Care” Book Discussion Group at the Blue Hill Public Library

Blue Hill Public Library
5 Parker Point Rd, Blue Hill

— The Blue Hill Public Library’s new book group, “Shelf-Care”, cosponsored by Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital, will have its second meeting on Tuesday, April 9th at 5:30 PM. The group is led by licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) Dede Ragot, and Patty Bergstrom, and meets on the second Tuesday of the month.

April’s book will be Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone, by Brené Brown. In the book the author argues that society is experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other. She writes, “The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.”

Patty Bergstrom, LCSW, is a Behavioral Health Provider at Northern Light Health Blue Hill Primary Care. Dede Ragot, LCSW, is a Clinical Social Worker with Northern Light Home Care and Hospice for the past 5 years. Both are avid readers and enjoy discussion groups and learning from others.

This group is free and open to everyone. Copies of the book will be available to check out in advance at the library. For more information, contact the library at 374-5515.
