We are thrilled to be participating in this year's Libraries in the Woods community read. After suggestions from library staff throughout the region, and much discussion, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer has been chosen. Along with many book discussion gatherings, there will also be other events and happenings around this book taking place at more than 20 local libraries. This will be a wonderful opportunity to visit many of the lovely libraries in our region and to feel connected through the act of reading a book in common and then engaging in discussion and learning. We hope everyone will join us in this community-at-large endeavor! "As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert). 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." |

PLEASE CALL 665-4683 TO PRE-REGISTER. LIMITED TO 12 STUDENTS. Part of the Libraries in the Woods (a Franklin County library collaboration) 2020 Community Read of Braiding Sweetgrass: Celebrate the start of spring with a workshop focused on reconnecting to the earth through gardening and garden planning. Learn the essentials about starting and maintaining a home vegetable, flower, and herb garden. Spend some time dreaming up your garden and mapping out the specifics of what it will look like and the action steps you will take to get it growing. Get your hands dirty by starting some spring seeds to take home. Woven throughout the workshop will be mindfulness practices to ground our time together in the healing properties of the natural world. Connecting to the earth through gardening can be a way to come home to ourselves and the sacred. As Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in Braiding Sweetgrass; “The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness.” |

Libraries are vital institutions in our communities. They serve as gathering places, educational and cultural resources, introductions to literacy, and so much more. To celebrate the central role libraries play in our communities, Senator Jo Comerford will be traveling to a library in each of the 24 cities and towns in her district from October to May. Join Jo for an informal gathering at your local library to learn more about the work she’s doing on your behalf in the legislature, ask questions, and join in on the conversation about issues affecting your community. |
