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 three works of nonfiction. Join us for as many sessions as you’d like! 

Our February title is The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration by Jake Bittle. People are moving all across the country, from half-drowned Louisiana to fire-scorched California, from the dried up cotton fields of Arizona to the soaked watersheds of inland North Carolina. The personal stories in Bittle's work show that the consequences of climate change are visible right now, reshaping the geography of the United States. 

Here are the selections for each month:

• February Title: The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration by Jake Bittle (2023)
• March Title: Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility by Rebecca Solnit, et. al (2023)
• April Title: Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future by Elizabeth Kolbert (2023)

Print copies of each title are available at the Library's Circulation Desk one month in advance of each discussion. The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration is also available as an audiobook (cd format), an eAudiobook through Libby, & eBook through Hoopla.
