Program Description

Event Details

The Brown Bag Book Club will be discussing the monthly book on Zoom and in person.

This month's title: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

"As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants, and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the generosity of the earth and learning to give our own gifts in return.” (GoodReads) 

This is a hybrid event. Participants can attend on Zoom or in person. Registration is required either way.

Register by e-mailing Jacquie Owens or on this calendar, or call the library at 315-635-5631. Extra help connecting and participating is available.
