Arbo-READ-um Virtual Author Visit with Dr. Kimberly Nicholas

Join us on Wednesday, July 27 at 12:00 p.m. for a virtual author visit with Dr. Kimberly Nicholas followed by Q&A!

Join Tredyffrin Public Library and Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens for the 2nd annual Arbo-READ-um Community Read Event. The Arbo-READ-um event is a program series born from a collaboration between the library and Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. During the program, the library and the arboretum work together to provide opportunities to promote literacy, library and arboretum usage, and community conversations by encouraging Tredyffrin Township to come together by reading and discussing a single book – Under the Sky We Make by Dr. Kimberly Nicholas.

She has published over 55 articles on climate and sustainability in leading peer-reviewed journals; writes for publications such as Elle, The Guardian, Scientific American, and New Scientist; and is the author of Under the Sky We Make: How to be Human in a Warming World, and the monthly climate newsletter We Can Fix It.
