Join us for a Spring Book Club! In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Tri-State Tornado, we'll be reading Falling to Earth by Kate Southwood. Based on the historic 1925 tornado, Falling to Earth follows Paul Graves and his young family in the year after the storm as they struggle to comprehend their own fate and that of their devastated town, as they watch Marah resurrect itself from the ruins, and as they miscalculate the growing resentment and hostility around them.

Book discussion will be Wednesday April 9th at 5:30pm! There will be snacks and space to share any other books you're excited about.

The Art of Foraging with Alexis Nikole Nelson

Thursday, April 10th @ 7:00PM
Celebrate Earth Month with BlackForager, Alexis Nikole Nelson. A forager, outdoor educator, chef, and influencer based in Ohio, Nelson uses her platforms to yell, sing and celebrate all the edible plants hiding in plain sight. She invites all to come on her foraging journey with her via @alexisnikole (TikTok) and @blackforager (Instagram). Through her search for freely accessible edible plants, she peels back historical layers on African American and Indigenous food traditions that have traditionally been repressed and empowers those living in food deserts with greater self- sufficiency.
