Richmond Public Library is pleased to host the long standing Food for Thought book club on the second Wednesday of every month from 7 - 8:30 p.m. on the second floor of Community Place at 7700 Minoru Gate. Registration is required.
This particular book club is suitable for adults and older teens.
The Food for Thought Book Club discusses books that are related to living off the land and our relationship with food. In September, participants will be reading and discussing The Jaguar’s Children by John Vaillant and in October the book to be discussed will be The Reason You Walk by Wab Kinew.
New members are always welcome, but space is limited to 12 people, so interested library members should register early.
The library is also hosting renowned children’s book author Kyo Maclear at the Brighouse branch on Saturday Sept. 24 from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.
This free event is suitable for children ages five and up. Registration is required.
Program participants will learn about Maclear’s children’s books, and how great books can begin with just a tiny seed of creativity.
Maclear will also read from her latest book, The Wish Tree, and lead children in a craft activity.
“Literacy is one of the foundations of the public library, and having authors come and share their stories is an excellent way to engage kids and families with books” said librarian Kate Adams.
