Real Reads: a non-fiction Book Group
Real Reads is our new non-fiction reading discussion group. We will explore excellent authors and world-changing ideas on urgent issues affecting the globe and our own back yards.
We will meet every fourth Saturday beginning September 28th at 3 p.m. in person in the Conference Room and virtually on Zoom.
For our first meeting, we will take on the climate crisis with This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein. It was selected for the New York Times Book Review 100 Notable Books of the Year “the most momentous and contentious environmental book since Silent Spring,” an Observer Book of the Year, and it was chosen by Margaret Atwood for The Guardian’s annual Best Books list.
