Library of Life
Science and Wellness at Parkway Central Library
The Library of Life Book Tour is an extension of the Library of Life Live Series, designed to highlight both books and life resources as tools for healing and growth. Just like a library is filled with knowledge to guide us, this tour shows how life itself can be a library, full of stories, lessons, and resources that help us grow.
Rooted in my book Cliché Your Way Through Life REMIX, each event blends storytelling, therapy-inspired reflection, and practical life tools. By connecting the metaphor of the library with real-life resources, the program encourages participants to see both literature and community as guides for navigating challenges, building resilience, and creating lives they don’t want to escape.
