Batavia's Books Between Bites welcomes Roger Breisch Dec. 17

The monthly noontime book program Books Between Bites welcomes Roger Breisch at noon Thursday, Dec. 17, at Batavia Public Library.

He will discuss the book "The Ascent of Humanity: Civilization and the Human Sense of Self" by Charles Eisenstein. This book is an exploration of human thought, and how humanity came to this place and time. It challenges some fundamental beliefs about many topics - including language, time, fire, science, and mathematics - and illustrates how they have had a dramatic impact on our current view of the world.

Books Between Bites is held from noon to 1 p.m. in the large Founders Room just inside the main entrance of the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave. The public is invited to attend this free program and reservations are not required. Parking is available in the lot just south and adjacent to the library.

People are invited to bring their lunch and eat as they enjoy the program and discussion. Lunch items, beverages and baked goods can be purchased at Chapters Coffee House & Café, located just inside the library and adjacent to the meeting room.

Books Between Bites was established in Batavia in 1987 by the late Lee C. Moorehead. The program has been continued by Moorehead's wife, Betty, and his daughter, Becky Hoag, in partnership and cosponsorship with George H. Scheetz and Stacey Peterson of Batavia Public Library.
