Summary

Gain a new perspective on nature with our monthly reading group, Natural Pages, a partnership between the Discovery Center and Koller Library.

Description

A partnership between the Discovery Center and Koller Library, each month we will focus on a different nature-based book each month, with discussions led by either Discovery Center or library staff. Books will be available for checkout at the library in the weeks prior to the meeting. The book we will discuss this month is What an Owl Knows by Jennifer Ackerman. In this book, the author joins scientists in the field and explores how researchers are using modern technology and tools to learn how owls communicate, hunt, court, mate, raise their young, and move about from season to season. Ackerman brings this research alive with her own personal field observations; the result is an awe-inspiring exploration of owls across the globe and through human history, and a spellbinding account of the world’s most enigmatic group of birds.

 

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required but is appreciated. This month's Natural Pages Reading Group gathering will be held at the Koller Library in Manitowish Waters.  Tuesday 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm.
