This month’s book: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.

A Wilson Museum-inspired book discussion series.

There are all sorts of great books out there that can be connected to our museum and mission in some way – from how we think about museums, to encountering more about the cultures and objects we share through our exhibits, to fun ways to explore history. And rather than just read and think about these on her own, Executive Director Julia Gray wants to invite you all to read and talk about some of these books with her! The discussions will be offered both in-person and on Zoom.

Our 2025 book discussion series will contain three books:

• The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer | Tuesday, May 20

• The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters | Tuesday, September 16

• Tangleroot by Kalela Williams | Tuesday, November 18

Participation in all three is not required. Join whichever discussion piques your interest!
