Dr. Rebecca Glazier, a professor of public affairs at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, will host a book signing for her engaging new book on the Little Rock Congregations Study on Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Glazier’s book, “Faith and Community: How Engagement Strengthens Members, Places of Worship, and Society,” was published by Temple University Press in July. This book shows the benefits of religious people taking action in their communities and represents the culmination of a dozen years of research on the intersection of religion, politics, and community engagement in Little Rock.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 6 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, 11500 Financial Center Pkwy., Little Rock.

You can reserve a copy of the book by calling Barnes &  Noble at 501-954-7648.

Glazier will also speak about her book during a Central Arkansas Library System Legacies and Lunch meeting Oct. 2 at noon at UA Little Rock Downtown, 333 President Clinton Ave., Little Rock.
