As you may know 25 libraries were planning to read this book and have programming but then the virus came along. The book is Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and some libraries are doing a facebook discussion. We will discuss the book on May 11th and the place or way we will meet is TBA, maybe an outdoor meeting? If you are having trouble finding a copy of the book call the library 978-544-6334 or send me an email at dsmith@cwmars.org.
