SUMMARY:"How Can I Help?" Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Doug Tallamy is a must read for those interested in ecological conservation that starts in your own backyard. His most recent book\, How can I help: saving nature with your yard\, is full of answers to all the questions that might come up in the process of landscaping with native plants.

Join this book discussion facilitated by Keep Hyde Park Beautiful and connect with others in our community who are also eager to make a difference. Together\, we’ll explore how to put these ideas into action\, share experiences\, and learn how our individual efforts can collectively help restore the natural world\, starting right outside our door in Hyde Park. \nCopies of the book are available for checkout at the library circulation desk.

SUMMARY:Hyde Park Book Club: Before the Coffee Gets Cold @BPL
DESCRIPTION:Join the Book Club as we discuss Oshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold.  \nIn a small back alley in Tokyo\, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. Meet four visitors\, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-traveling offer\, to: confront the man who left them\, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early-onset Alzheimer’s\, to see their sister one last time\, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat\, they cannot leave the café\, and finally\, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold.  \n\nAccessibility Notice: We strive to make our events accessible. To request a disability accommodation and/or language services\, contact the department listed in the “Contact Info” pane on the right. Please allow at least two weeks to arrange accommodation.
