recommend to our library collection that would be relevant to the
non-profit/voluntary sector, please let us know. Many information

currently increasing the digital content of our collection to

For those of you who are loyal to printed books, we will be adding

This page will feature a book or more
to let you know what your fellow non-profit/voluntary community
member is reading from the RCVO@ Volunteer Alberta Library. We
hope that these book recommendations and reviews would help you
select a resource of interest. Here is one book review:
Title: Getting to Maybe; How
the World is Changed
Authors: Frances Westley, Brenda Zimmerman, Michaeil
Quinn Patton
"Getting to Maybe is a great read for those interested in Social
Innovation. It explores a new way of approaching and making
change in communities, businesses and the world.
By exploring the complexity theory and using a multitude of real
life examples from people and organizations, the book provides not
answers but rather inspiration for change.
It is the type of book you will read, then keeping thinking back
to in your mind as you explore the curves and challenges in daily
life.
If you believe Social Change is everyone's
responsibility, especially our own, read this book!"
