A book club for music fans: band memoirs, studio histories, genre guides and more. See online event calendar for details

---

If you like digging into backstories as much as listening to music, join us to discuss music-related books, documentaries, podcasts and more.

Because no one wants to spend time reading a book they don't like, there is no assigned title. Instead, you choose a book (or documentary, podcast, article, zine, etc.) that fits in with a monthly theme. When we get together, we'll all share the stories, songs, and clips we found. This kind of book club is a great way to get reading recommendations and discover new bands.

When was the last time you had a meaningful dialogue with others in your community about personal experiences related to poverty?

Poverty in our communities is linked to barriers like incarceration, addiction, mental illness, lack of education, and racial inequity. Beyond these barriers are human beings.

At the Table is an event designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and foster connections. Think Tank’s Change Leader Alliance is hosting its fifth annual At the Table, encouraging people from diverse backgrounds to converse and learn from each other in a supportive environment. This year, Think Tank is partnering with several organizations across the country to host At The Table.

Attendees can engage in 20-minute one-on-one or small group conversations with local Change Leaders who share their personal experiences related to poverty. These speakers are local Change Leaders that draw upon their personal experiences to help inform and improve their community.

This event aims to create a positive space for dialogue on challenging topics, break down stereotypes, and celebrate the strength and gifts of so many who have lived experience in poverty.
