November’s book is An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth by Col. Chris Hadfield. Hadfield takes readers into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. He developed an unconventional philosophy at NASA: prepare for the worst, and enjoy every moment of it. By thinking like an astronaut, you can change the way you view life on Earth, especially your own. The library is closed on Fridays, so please enter through the meeting room door at the back of the building. Titles are subject to change based on availability.
