Bodhi’s Nook

Bodhi’s Nook

Continuing our commitment to enrich our community, One River Zen is delighted to introduce Bodhi's Nook, our little free library. Inspired by the concept of Bodhi, or awakening, this free resource is dedicated to spreading knowledge and wisdom through the joy of reading.

Bodhi's Nook operates on the principle of open sharing — 'take a book, leave a book'. Located at 121 E Prospect Avenue in Ottawa, IL, it offers a tranquil space for community members to discover a diverse range of books, from spiritual teachings to literature that inspires and educates.

This initiative not only supports the intellectual growth of our community but also fosters a deeper connection among members through the shared love of reading. Bodhi's Nook is a testament to our belief that enlightenment can be pursued not only through meditation but also through engaging with the world of ideas.
