About this Event
Join us for the NE Seattle Tool Library's book club! We’ll be reading Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations with Black Environmentalists by Leah Penniman.
All are welcome at book club (even if you haven't read the book)! It’s all about community, connecting with like-minded people, and sharing a love of books. We hope to see you there for some discussion and community building. If it is nice out, we'll be hosting this one outside! While we'll always have tea available, please feel free to bring anything to share.
Looking for a copy? Check out Seattle Public Libraries and King County Libraries! We also suggest a thriftbooks.com and betterworldbooks.com for ordering used books.
Our group agreements are as follows:
- Respect! Respect people's opinions, pronouns, bodies, spaces, and time.
- Keep it flowing. While we wish we could be at book club all night, we only have an hour and a half. Please be mindful of leaving room for everyone to speak.
- Lead with curiosity. This is a place for expanding our ideas of whats possible!
- If you haven't read the book, you are still welcome! No need to read the book to come and participate in our community, all are welcome <3
You may RSVP for upcoming Book Clubs once we post them by visiting and searching for "Book Club"!
