Author Richard Higgins will present an illustrated lecture, “Thoreau and the Language of Trees,” based on his 2017 book of that name from the University of California Press. Henry Thoreau loved trees and saw and wrote about them as few others have.

Join us for a virtual Q&A with Joseph Lee, author of the 2026 Massachusetts Great Reads title Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. Copies of the book are available at the library circulation desk (while supplies last).
