ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a virtual book discussion of Longwood Gardens’ Community Read book, The Home Place: Memoirs of a Colored Man’s Love Affair with Nature, by J. Drew Lanham, on Monday, March 22 at 7:00 PM. Mark Pinto, the Library’s Adult Services Director, will lead the discussion. Birds are a lifelong passion for Lanham, and in The Home Place, he also examines his personal history and struggles. Readers follow his journey as a successful wildlife ecologist who along the way uncovers lessons about legacy and his own need to inject a deeper sense of human caring into his life and work. Join us for our virtual discussion of a book author Helen MacDonald has called “a ground-breaking work about race and the American landscape”.
