Instead of keeping with the trend of angrier and lonelier Americans, Brooks provided a guide to become an illuminator. In Brooks’ terms, illuminators are those people with a visible excitement to get to know and befriend someone.

While a space like this has previously existed, it is being “rebranded” and moved to a more central location: the first floor of Moody Memorial Library.
