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.

March 8: Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey (1968) Like many naturalists, Abbey celebrates the flora and the fauna he encounters in the desert but he also lashes out at the dangers of development and human impacts on wild places.

Discussion leader: Brenda Pettinger.
