Every October, Conflict Resolution in Colorado invites readers to pause and explore themes of conflict resolution with a selected community read. This year the library has supplemented programming with a workshop on key communication skills and an additional book discussion exploring the impact of trauma on the body with practical approaches to healing. For all programs, a limited number of conflict resolution titles will be gifted at each program.
