THE B��KMARK

July/August 2016

,,Welcome back Students

Since 2011, Nonviolent Carbondale has fostered community-driven

explorations of peace, compassion and social justice issues, includ-

ing five community-wide 11 Days initiatives, featuring 184 insight-

ful programs and exhibits. The library won the American Library

Association’s Excellence in Library Programming Award for our

leadership in this community effort. Nobel Peace Prize Nominee

John Dear started a nationwide Nonviolent Cities project emulating

our actions! This all happened with an eye toward joining commu-

nities across the world seeking to become Compassionate Commu-

nities www.charterforcompassion.org/index.php/communities. We

would like to make our Compassionate Community status official

with a city council resolution in 2016 to acknowledge our ongoing

effort and affirm our commitment to compassionate choices, efforts

and actions. Please take our survey at

www.nonviolentcarbondale.org to tell us about compassionate

efforts in our community, share ideas for future planning, and

support our official Compassionate Community status.

We want to hear

from you!
