Join NSU Alvin Sherman Library for a book sale and signing with Jim Rooney, grandson of Art Rooney who founded the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers. He is a business owner, consultant, facilitator, national speaker and published author! Free and open to the public. Register today!

His book “A Different Way to Win: Dan Rooney’s Story from the Super Bowl to the Rooney Rule” details his father’s long and successful career in sports, business and philanthropy as told through stories of those who worked alongside him. Released in November 2019, the book quickly became an Amazon Best Seller and was selected by President Obama to be one of 38 on his 2019 Favorite Book List.

Love and Desire

Valentine’s Day is for lovers. Hollywood tends to equate love and desire, but real-life love stories are so much richer, layered as they are with varying degrees of sex, commitment, connection, vulnerability, curiosity, humor, and unpredictability.

As a couple, Drs Shelley Green, Ph.D., LMFT and Douglas G. Flemons, Ph.D. LMFT will share insights on love and desire, drawing from 30 years’ experience working with couples in their clinical practice. They will explore what creates, builds, and sustains sexual attraction, desire, and intimacy in relationships over time.
