Natural Readers: A Walking Outdoor Book Group

Natural Readers meets at the Freedom Park Interpretive Center the second Friday of every month. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather as we will be walking one of the Freedom Park trails while we discuss the month’s book choice.

This month, join library staff as we walk and talk about Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass. Author Kimmerer, a member of the Potawatomi Nation, is also a biologist and plant ecologist. Weaving her native heritage with her scientific training, she gently shows the link between the natural world and our own need for connection with each other and with our environment.We’ll meet in the park headquarters for an initial discussion, then continue our chat while we walk on the wooded trails. We’ll also distribute copies of June’s book, Bewilderment. (Rain or shine. We’ll stay indoors if the weather is bad.)
