Explore how to become a happier person during this four-part series. Peer-to-Peer learning circles are interactive study groups for people who want to learn new content together. Please register.

In this course, you will engage in a series of tasks designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. 

Professor Laurie Santos of Yale University reveals misconceptions about happiness, annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do, and the research that can help us change.

This course is being offered as part of the library's collaboration with Peer2Peer University.

Learning circles are free, regularly scheduled study groups for people who want to learn together. 

A syllabus and informational material will be available at the branch one week before the start of classes.

There is limited space for this series, so please register online, at the branch service desk, or by phone at 330-659-4343.

About the branch

The library experience for customers of the Richfield Branch Library is eclectic and energizing. A rich collection of books, music and movies complement programs for all ages, including storytime and interactive play opportunities, book discussion, and more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing help to make the Richfield Branch Library a one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.

In the community, you will find librarians working closely with Richfield Government and Recreation, the local schools, the Garden Club, Kiwanis, and more. At the library, opportunities for individual and family engagement include an extensive NatureConnect interactive space, an ongoing StoryWalk collaboration along the Carter Pedigo Trail, and other hands-on, participatory exploration opportunities. Every time you visit the Richfield Branch Library, there is something to do, play, study, explore, or observe—and the chance to make a memory.
