Reading Nature

Join us for Reading Nature, our new book group on the natural world! This book group, which will meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 5:30 pm in the Aldrich Room, is co-sponsored by the Howe Library and the Hanover Conservancy.

Discussions will be lead by some combination of Barry Matthews of the Hanover Conservancy, Jared Jenisch of the Howe Library, and Susie Howard of the Thetford Conservation Commission. Attend in person or online via Zoom.

Email Jared at jared.jenisch@thehowe.org to get on our email list or for more information. Book group attendees do not need a Howe Library card to check out book group books — they are available to all residents of the Upper Valley. Copies are available at the reference desk.
