Looking to read more non-fiction and chat about it with others? Join us for the next Better Worlds Book Club on Thursday, October 1st 6:30pm - 8:00pm.

The Better Worlds Book Club focuses on books that reenvision the world and our place in it. We will read mostly non-fiction (occasionally speculative fiction) that imagines radical futures and recontextualizes historical narratives.

October Book – “In Trees – An Exploration” – Robert Moor
https://waterfordtwplibrary.org/event/better-worlds-book-club-4/

"One day, on a whim, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home—unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long, globe-spanning adventure of intellectual and spiritual transformation. Pursuing the hidden wisdom of trees, he scales to the very top of a giant sequoia while filming a nature documentary with David Attenborough; he treks through swamps in Papua to reach a treehouse-dwelling tribe of hunter-gatherers; and he journeys to a remote research camp in Tanzania, where he spends a memorable night sleeping in a chimpanzee nest, seeking to understand our deep evolutionary history. Eventually, having gained a radical new outlook on both our gnarled past and our ever-branching future, he joins an intrepid clan of climate activists risking everything to halt construction of a new oil pipeline and save an ancient forest."

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, join local historian Jim Segrave-Daly for a lively discussion about the pivotal role New Jersey played. With more than 90 military engagements in the state during the Revolution, the actions of Loyalists & Patriots contributed greatly to America’s ultimate victory. Strategically located between British-controlled New York & the Continental capital of Philadelphia, South Jersey was critical to controlling the Delaware River & supplying both armies, especially during the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777.
