Community-building Books 📖

There are tons of community-building books so I’m putting together a list for you here. Over the summer I was reading more, but now I’ve been working on reading when I can get to them. I share what I’ve learned in the book reviews I offer inside FCH. I will update this list when I’ve got more books or reviews!

Many of the books can also be found on Audible if you aren’t a big reader.
