Reading Nature: The Joyful Environmentalist

Join us for Reading Nature, our new book group on the natural world! Our theme this fall is Books For a Changing Climate. This book group, which meets on the second Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm in the Aldrich Room, is co-sponsored by the Howe Library and the Hanover Conservancy. Discussions will be lead by some combination of Barry Matthews and Savannah Bailey of the Hanover Conservancy and Jared Jenisch of the Howe Library. Attend in person or online via Zoom. Email Jared at jared.jenisch@thehowe.org to get on our email list or for more information. Book group attendees do not need a Howe Library card to check out book group books -- they are available to all residents of the Upper Valley. Copies are available at the reference desk. December: The Joyful Environmentalist, by Isabel Losada "Finally! A book about saving our planet that is fast, funny and inspiring too. Written in short chapters for busy people, Isabel doesn’t bother with an examination of the problem but gets right on with the solutions. Her aim: to look for every single way we can take care of the planet; how we live and work, travel, shop, eat, drink, dress, vote, play, volunteer, bank – everything. And to do this wholeheartedly, energetically and joyfully." "Told with humour and candour, The Joyful Environmentalist is a manifesto of brilliant advice offered with humility and good grace – it is a practical guide to empower us all." – Isabella Tree - Author of Wilding
