Welcome to the Resource Library

The Resource Library is an extensive collection of introductions to readings and associated questions designed to help spur reflection on civic activity. Readings are the core of civic reflection, and our library can help you locate good readings for your group. Here you will find:

• Basic questions about associating, giving, serving and leading.
• Suggested readings that explore these questions.
• Online links to readings, where available.
• Discussion summaries by people who have used these readings.
