Southworth Library has partnered with Science Friday to bring the Sci Fri Book Club to the science and reading enthusiasts in our community and across the nation. This October, we explore climate change, coastal flooding and its effects on communities around the world with Elizabeth Rush’s Pulitzer winning work, Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore. Published in 2018, the book voyages to communities in Louisiana, Staten Island New York, coastal Florida, the Bay Area of California, and the forests of Cascadia and asks us to witness the slow, the fast, and the inexorable changes wrought by global warming. The club events include a full line up of radio events on WSKG (89.3 or 90.5 Ithaca) or WSQX (91.5)  virtual book club community meetings, a call-in with the author, a virtual Trivia Night: Book Club Edition and a local in-person discussion with readers.
