Book Signing By Local Author

C.H. Booth Library will host a reception and book signing Sunday, March 13, from 2 to 5 pm in the meeting room of the library with Dr Nancy Schulz of Newtown.

Dirt Rich: The New American Gentry is a self-help book by Dr Schulz and will be available for $27.95 at the signing. Sales from the book will benefit the library.

“It’s important for me to do something for my public library,” says Dr Schulz, “a give-back. [The library] is a good place to grow.”

A doctor of psychology since 1998, Dr Schulz felt she had a calling to help people find their gifts, determine their purpose on earth. The book’s subtitle, Living in an Affluent Neighborhood on NO MONEY, gets to the core of this self-help book.

 “Having no money can be a blessing if you recognize what brings you joy,” said Dr Schulz, a Newtown resident since 1969. “Noticing what you have is key.” Her book, which she describes as funny (“Life’s a hoot!”), practical (“Life’s not always simple.”), and deep (“Being here in the moment.”), addresses the angst people feel when they are restricted by old rules and ways.

The book can also be preordered by calling the library at 426-4533.
