Stark County District Library
One Book One Community. 

Each fall Stark County residents join together to read a common book and share ideas through lively—and challenging—community conversation. 1 in 4 Stark County residents are concerned with the growing addiction epidemic, yet due to the stigma surrounding addiction, only an estimated 25% of addicts will ever seek help.

This year’s book selection casts stigma aside to confront the topic first hand with Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction by David Sheff. Young readers will join the conversation with HIGH: Everything You Want to Know About Drugs by David and Nic Sheff.

This fall, join us for a series of events exploring this challenging community topic.

Tufts Hillel

Merrin Distinguished Lecture Series, Moral Voices.

The Merrin Moral Voices program promotes the importance of raising a moral voice in our society, an idea that is deeply rooted in Jewish values and culture. Each year, the series addresses a single social justice issue through programming, film, discussion, and social activism connected to that theme.

Our goal is to expose students to exemplars, regular women and men who have done extraordinary things in their communities. Their courage to raise a moral voice brings attention to injustices around the world and inspires us to take action ourselves.
