Collection Development Committee Meeting

Join us as we chat with award-winning writer Erika Snchez about her utterly original, moving, and disarmingly funny memoir-in-essays Crying in the Bathroom.

The most important conversation we have each day isnt with our boss, spouse, or friends: its the one we have with ourselves. When facing a challenging task, our inner voice can motivate us and help us keep our focus. But often, we come up against the nagging voice that tells us we cant do it or that people will laugh at us if we try. The million-dollar question is how can we transform our self-saboteur, determined to undermine our success, into an internal life coach that will buoy us up and help us expand our potential?
