How are we going to find our way to bringing this country together? We have a polarized society, civil unrest and a deadly pandemic. Listen and ask questions of New York Times columnist and Bethesda resident, Thomas L. Friedman. He has been sheltering in place like most of us and is eager to be a neighbor through Zoom.

The Montgomery County Public Library has all of these bestsellers in its print and digital collections, including From Beirut to Jerusalem and The World is Flat.
