Join us for Reading Nature, our new book group on the natural world! This book group, which will meet on the second Thursday of the month at 6:00 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 and Savannah Bailey of the Hanover Conservancy and Jared Jenisch of the Howe Library. 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.
