We will share thoughts, resources, and occasionally host special guests in a welcoming small-group environment. For our February meeting, we will discuss The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben.

E-book and e-audiobook copies are available to borrow on the Libby app and immediately on the Hoopla app. Registration is required. Please contact alengel@cambridgema.gov with questions.
