# Send your reading list
First, have a question that should be discussed! The question should be:
1. Related to public goods
2. Open ended
3. Relevant to web3

Another way is that you can look at what has been shared over the week and pick a question relevant to what people have been talking about!

Try to find readings that are relevant to the question. Here's a template

# Prepare for your session
I recommend preparing a hackmd page/documentation where you can prepare tl;drs of your readings that the public library can read before going into the session!

At the end of each reading, its good to have a facilitation question that people can use as context for discussion.

Here are some suggestions on what makes a good facilitation question:
- People can share their experiences
- People can share their perspectives
- They try to build up towards the overall question for the session
- Control the session cadence. Start with harder and more complex questions while the session still has high energy. End with questions that people can help reflect on their own experiences
