Join us at Fowler Park to discuss Wild Spectacle: Seeking Wonders in a World Beyond Humans by Janisse Ray. Weather permitting, we'll meet at the FCPL Bookmobile, which will be parked in the lot closest to the pavilion circled in blue below, between the soccer fields and tennis courts. We will begin our walk there and walk approximately 1 mile. The trail will loop us back to where we first met to discuss the book at length, and we will have a virtual visit from Janisse Ray to learn more about her experiences within the book.
The Bookmobile will be on-site to host the virtual author visit and will be available to the public from 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
In the case of inclement weather, the book club meeting will be held in Conference Room Side 1 at the Sharon Forks Library, and the Bookmobile will not be available at Fowler Park.
