This program is designed to unite people from all areas of the College, promote open and extended discussion, provide paths to conflict resolution, and serve as another bridge within the Dartmouth community.

All Dartmouth staff and faculty whether 100% remote or regularly on campus can participate. Participants choose which book they would like to read and then will be instructed on how to receive a free copy. For those that need an accommodation, we will work directly with you so that you can participate in a way that works best for you. Throughout the year we also hold optional community book discussions and provide discussion questions and, when possible, book summaries in advance.

UPDATE!

We're excited to share that as part of our campus-wide MLK Celebration festivities, we will be releasing our first book of 2026, "King, A Life" by Jonathan Eig on Dr. King's birthday, January 19, 2026 at 9 am. The rest of our 2026 lineup of books will be announced Friday, January 16. When that occurs, you'll have an opportunity to sign up to receive all books, including our January book, King, A Life!

Want a facilitated book discussion for your office or department? Depending on your goals and availability, IDE can provide facilitated book discussions.
