A collaboration between the Richmond Climate Action Committee and the library, the final book in this discussion series is BRAIDING SWEETGRASS by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Books (and an audiobook) are now available to borrow from the library, and all are welcome to join. In this bestselling collection of essays, Indigenous scientist Robin Wall Kimmerer shows how other living beings—plants, berries, salamanders—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten to hear their voices. Described by readers as "gentle, simple, tactile, beautiful, even sacred," this book opens our eyes as to how acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world can awaken a wider ecological consciousness. Please come by the library to borrow a copy of the book, and join us for conversation (and cookies) on Wednesday, May 24 at 7:00 pm in the Community Room.
