Explore the wonders of nature with our quarterly book discussion led by IL Master Naturalist Stephanie Rens-Domiano. Join us as we delve into captivating reads about our natural world.
Our Summer selection is The Serviceberry--An Economy of Abundance by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Copies will be available for checkout on our Book Club Holds Shelf starting on or near July 27.
In The Serviceberry, Robin Wall Kimmerer uses the serviceberry, a tree that embodies abundance and reciprocity, to explore how we can learn from nature and Indigenous wisdom to reimagine our economic systems, moving away from scarcity and towards a "gift economy" based on mutual support and gratitude.
