We READ, We TALK Book Club – August 2021

OFPL’s Book Club is reading Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices.

Zoom discussions will be held on:

Thursday, August 12th at 6:00 PM

Thursday, August 19th at 6:00 PM

Saturday, August 28th at 3:00 PM
