The public is invited to take part in Southborough’s “Community Read”, featuring the novel The Authenticity Project.
The Community Read is a partnership between Southborough Youth and Family Services and the Southborough Library. Books are available through the Southborough Library to start reading now.
The program is part of SYFS’ annual initiative to promote Mental Health Awareness in May.
On May 1st at 7:30 pm, readers will be able to take part in a book discussion over zoom.
The event flyer describes the plot of Clare Pooley’s book as exploring:
how honesty and vulnerability can bring people together, highlighting the importance of connection in supporting mental health.
In The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley, a shared notebook links strangers who form a community that proves no one has to face their struggles alone.
According to the flyer, books are available to check out through the Southborough Library’s interlibrary loan.
To register for the virtual book discussion, email Leah Selleck at lselleck@southboroughma.com.
This is just one of many plans SYFS has to promote Mental Health Awareness Month in May. So, stay tuned for more news on the jam-packed calendar of 2025 events.
