Join the Fall Book Club. Book Club is open to all Fresno State employees, encourages reading, provides a platform for sharing thoughts and insights, and fosters a sense of community among members.

Participants can expect to engage in discussions about the book's themes, share their perspectives, and gain deeper understanding and enjoyment of the reading material through collective conversation.

This semester’s book is available in both audiobook and e-book formats.

The fall reading selection, "The Perfect Story: How to Tell Stories that Inform, Influence, and Inspire" by Karen Eber provides practical steps to craft engaging and memorable stories by leveraging the science of storytelling. It explores storytelling as a tool for communication, connection, and influence whether in business, education, or personal settings. The book includes exercises aimed at building a toolkit of story ideas and features interview vignettes that offer real-world examples and insights from various storytellers.
