Community Meeting Room

Join HPL's Library Edition Book Club for a special discussion and presentation!

Join us for a discussion of Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass, then watch a presentation with the author! The book discussion will be begin 6:00. Copies of the book will be available to check out from our Book Club Holds shelf.

About the book:

Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings--asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass--offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

About the Watch Party:

The Watch Party will begin immediately following our book discussion, at 7:00 p.m. We will livestream Robin Wall Kimmerer's presentation in the Community Meeting Room to be watched as a group. Registration for the Watch Party is separate from the book discussion and can be reached by clicking here
