Earth: Our Shared Home Book Series

Join us to discuss a few thought-provoking titles about the interconnected relationship we have with our shared home, planet Earth. This group will span the months of February, March, and April leading up to the globally recognized Earth Day on April 22. We will discuss one  work of nonfiction, and two climate fiction, aka “cli-fi” titles. Join us for as many sessions you’d like! 

Our March title is The Ministry for the Future from visionary science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson. The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, postapocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us. This extraordinary novel will change the way you think about the climate crisis.

Here are the selections for each month:

• February Title (non-fiction) - We Are Each Other’s Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land, and Legacy  by Natalie Baszile; et. al.
• March Title (science fiction/cli-fi) - Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson
• April Title (eco fiction/cli-fi) - Overstory by Richard Powers

Please note: Print copies of each title are available at the Library's circulation desk one month in advance of each discussion.
