The second meeting of the new **Student Climate and Nature Book Club** will take place on **Wednesday 13th November (12:00-14:00)**in the North Training Room of the Eavan Boland Library. The November pick is a work of fiction -  Richard Power's Pulitzer Prize-winning [The Overstory.](https://www.richardpowers.net/the-overstory/ "https://www.richardpowers.net/the-overstory/") 

It’s hard to capture this book in just a few lines – at its heart, it’s about trees, tree-time, and human relationships with trees and one another, told through an epic story of nine characters who become entangled with one another and with trees in various ways. You’ll never look at a tree the same way again.

There are eight copies of this book in the Library and it is widely available in paperback (it's €10 in Easons and Kenny's, for example - and you might find it second hand!).

You might also find it in your local public library (it’s available on the BorrowBox app), and if you have a Spotify subscription, it’s available as an audiobook.

The Climate and Nature Book Club is a collaboration between the Library and Clare Kelly (School of Psychology) and is open to all students (undergraduate and postgraduate). It’s not a class! If you’re interested in joining the discussion, read what you can of the book, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get very far or if you don’t like it! Read it before? Join us for the discussion!

We look forward to seeing you on the 13th November – please share this information with friends who might be interested in joining.
