Pageturners Book Club Reading, Discussing Safina’s ’Lazy Point’

The Pageturners Library Book Club will discuss “Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an Unnatural World,” by Carl Safina when it meets Wednesday, July 26, at 10:15 a.m., in the Community Room. Jim McDonnel will lead the discussion.
Beginning in his kayak in his home waters of eastern Long Island, Safina's book takes us through the four seasons to the four points of the compass, from the high Arctic south to Antarctica, across the warm belly of the tropics from the Caribbean to the west Pacific, then home again.
We meet Eskimos whose way of life is melting away, explore a secret global seed vault hidden above the Arctic Circle, investigate dilemmas facing foraging bears and breeding penguins, and sail to formerly devastated reefs that are resurrecting as fish graze the corals algae-free.
Pageturner discussions are open to any adult reader. Books are available to check out at the Research and Information Desk. The book club is also supported by a grant from the Friends of the Library.
