The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, in partnership with Tucson Tome Gnome and Tucson Spotlight, invites you to join the Solutions-Focused Community Book Club, a quarterly gathering for community members who care about Southern Arizona and want to learn together.
This book club brings people from different backgrounds into conversation around shared readings and real-world impact. You do not need to finish the book to participate. Guided questions will be provided, and open discussion is always welcome, making it easy to join whether you’ve read a few pages or the whole book.
The remarkable Tucson Tome Gnome and Tucson Spotlight will also host a community book-sharing table. Bring a few books from your RTS (ready-to-share) stack and take home something new to enjoy. Any remaining books will be added to CFSA’s Little Free Library, Dog Eared Books.
Together, we will explore ideas, listen to one another, and reflect on how what we are reading connects to our community. This is a welcoming space where curiosity is encouraged, diverse perspectives are valued, and everyone belongs.
Light refreshments will be provided.

About the Book
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.
In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
