Seeking the Spiritual is a book discussion group offered by the Shaler North Hills Library, which began in the fall of 2023. Jill Millard and Ing Kalchthaler gently facilitate the group, and their path is Christianity, but those who attend follow many paths, and the only requirements are an open heart and an open mind. Book Discussions begin at 6:30 p.m. Copies of the books are available for purchase or borrowing at the library.
