Join us at the Peachtree Branch Library at 12 p.m. on the first Friday of each month for a lively discussion of books that explore how design shapes our world. Hosted by MODA and the library, conversations are led by MODA staff or guest experts. If you like, bring your lunch (no red beverages, please) and dive into fresh perspectives on design!

This March, we're exploring Wrestling with Moses: How Jane Jacobs Took On New York's Master Builder and Transformed the American City. The book details the epic battle between Jane Jacobs, a resident and writer, and Robert Moses, the city's "master builder” over the future of New York City. Jacobs advocacy for livable communities would forever change concepts of urban renewal.

This book can be borrowed through Fulton County library system or purchased in MODA’s Design Shop.
