The Riveted Readers Book Discussion Club

Have you been hankering for an in-person book club? Join us on the first Saturday of the month from 10:30AM-12PM in our cozy Fireside Room for a friendly book discussion group.

Our book to discuss at the May meeting is We Are The Middle Of Forever: Indigenous Voices From Turtle Island On The Changing Earth edited by Dahr Jamail and Stan Rushworth. Here is a brief description:

Although for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth—countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval—was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction—and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation.

If you still need a copy, follow this link to request it from another library system through LINK+. Items requested through this service will typically arrive within a week.
