🌿We're excited to announce our partnership with the Mad River Valley Libraries on a monthly environmental-themed book club 🌿

Each month, we'll read a different book about the natural world and/or climate change and discuss its implications for our community and our planet. We'll cover a wide array of genres ranging from fiction to non-fiction and everything else in between.

In honor of winter, our December book selection is "Migrations" by Charlotte McConaghy. Set in a future where many animals have gone extinct, Migrations follows a young woman who talks her way onto a fishing boat and follows Arctic terns in their migration to the Antarctic. It’s a gripping story about the human condition set against the backdrop of a bird species that has one of the longest annual migrations of any animal on Earth. An arctic tern could cover anywhere from 30,000 km to 60,000 km every year in its search of an endless summer.

Copies are available for checkout at your local MRV library.

This discussion is co-hosted by the Joslin Memorial Library and snacks will be provided.
