See you at our next meetup in May 2026, \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Important Update 8th May** **\- Registration is a TWO STEP PROCESS** **\- Even if you have registered for this event on Meetup below\, please ALSO complete your details on the NLB official event's portal link https://nlb\.libcal\.com/event/5905730** **\- This will help manage the logistics\. TQ\!** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- I am proud to announce that the Wiser Faster Club will be joining the National Library Board's LearnX Community. As such, we will be re-locating our meetup venue to the Central Library! Life gets busy. Books pile up. And sometimes what would be great is finding someone to share the *aha!* moments with us. That’s what Wiser Faster is all about: a space for curious, growth-minded people to come together, share what they’ve learned from a great non-fiction book, and spark deeper conversations. Join us to build a quality network and accelerate your own growth! ### What To Expect **📍 Date:** Sat, 30th May 2026 **🕙 Time:** 10am–12pm **📌 Venue:** Programme Room 3, Basement 1, Central Library , 100 Victoria St **👥 Group Size:** Small & focused (20-25pax) so everyone gets to contribute Rather than the *typical* book club where everyone has to read the same book beforehand, WFC is a relaxed brunch-time huddle with 2-3 “Book Sharers” taking 15min turns to present insights from a piece of non-fiction that they’ve read which is followed by open discussion. Bring your curiosity and let’s bounce ideas around. ### How You Can Join **🙋 Learner**-Sit in, listen actively, and join the discussion if you feel like it **📚 Sharer**\- Read a non\-fiction book that blew your mind? Present your key takeaways in 15min\-s\. **🎙️ Host**-For returning members keen to try light facilitation or emceeing *"We become good by reading. We become great by writing. We gain mastery by teaching"* ### Agenda \*Introduce yourselves (15mins) * Sharer A (15mins) \*Discussion A (30mins) * Break (15mins) \*Sharer B (15mins) * Discussion B (30mins) \*Group selfie and break off * (Optional) Post-event meal, buy your own (OTOT) **[RSVP etiquette]** • Update your RSVP if you can’t attend to help with planning. • No-shows are unfair to those on the waitlist. • Consistent no-shows may result in blacklisting from future events 📩 *Interested in being a future book reviewer/sharer?

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream!
