Resources


I just realized that I have never posted the titles of the books that I have found helpful as a time bank coordinator. The first 2 are by the founder of time banking, Dr. Edgar Cahn. The last was brought to my attention during the Coordinator Calls that TimeBanks USA holds twice a month, and it has been very helpful in understanding the challenges that many timebanks face because of their inherent structure.

Time Dollars: The New Currency That Enables Americans to Turn Their Hidden Resource – Time – into Personal Security & Community Renewal by Edgar Cahn, Ph.D., J.D. and Jonathan Rowe

No More Throw-Away People: The Co-Production Imperative by Edgar S. Cahn

The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations by Ori Brafman and Rod A. Beckstrom

If you have other titles that have been helpful or that address time banking and the issues surrounding time banks, please feel free to add them in a comment here or send me an email.
