BOISE, Idaho – Our environment is the focus of this year’s “Let’s Talk About It” community reading program hosted by the Ada Community Library and The Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey.

The theme – Our Earth, Our Ethics – will be explored through five books that deal with the challenge of balancing human activity and the natural world. The drop-in discussions are free. No registration is required.

“Let’s Talk About It” is sponsored by the Idaho Commission for Libraries, with support from US Bank and the Idaho Humanities Commission.

Each book will be addressed individually at biweekly meetings.

Feb 9: Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver (2001) Set in the small farms of southern Appalachia, this novel is built around three plots that celebrate the full environmental agenda, from the importance of species diversity to support of natural pest control, while offering a range of human love stories.

Discussion leader : Sue Norton.
