Exploring Non Fiction Book Discussion In-Person
Join us at the GPL for our bi-monthly non fiction book discussion as we explore different authors and genres. This month we are exploring Nature with Margaret Renkl’s book The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year.
In The Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.
Copies of the book are available at the library.
For more information, contact Pamela McBride at librarian@greenfieldpubliclibrary.org or call (413) 772-1544.
This program, made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Greenfield Public Library, is free and intended for ages 14 and up.
