You are invited to join our new INSPIRE Reading Book Club!

INSPIRE Reading Book Club, a partnership between Healthy Acadia's INSPIRE Recovery Center and Ellsworth Public Library, will begin on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at 6 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to join this monthly book group discussion featuring books that deal with the subjects of addiction, self-care, and mental health. 

The group will meet in person at Healthy Acadia’s INSPIRE Center (24 Church Street, Ellsworth) at 6 p.m. on Thursday, January 13. There will be a Zoom option for those interested in joining remotely.

 In January, the book group will discuss the memoir, Everything is Horrible and Wonderful, by Stephanie Wittels Wachs. People reviewed the book: "Comedy whiz Harris Wittels, a producer on Parks and Rec, had it all - until he OD'd on heroin at 30 in 2015. His sister, a drama teacher, poignantly describes his sobriety and relapses and her family's painful year after his death. But her beloved brother's wry jokes add leavening."
