Come, share your ideas and learn more about environmental topics in this space for thoughtful exchange, around fiction and non-fiction books.

Starting from a common base to have real discussions about the environment, this book discussion club is a great way to deepen ideas, have respectful debates while listening to the points of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this important topic. Together, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine new sustainable and desirable horizons.

This month's selection is The Good Ancestor: A Radical Prescription for Long-Term Thinking, by Roman Krznaric.This book is a call to save ourselves and our planet by targeting the root of our inaction: extreme short-sightedness. It outlines six practical ways we can retrain our brains to save our future and create a "time rebellion"-shifting our allegiance from our generation only to all humanity, present and future.

A limited number of copies will be available at the Check Out Desk. This title is also available in eAudio format through Hoopla with no waiting time.
