Environmental Book Club

Environmental Book Club

WMEAC is excited to host an environmental book club where people from across the region are able to learn more about environmental topics and get more in touch with our community. Everyone is welcome to join us for our book club meetings or to follow along on their own. 

WMEAC Environmental Book Club meets virtually via Zoom the first Wednesday of each month from 6:30-7:30pm. The link is sent out before the meeting and not posted publicly. Email ncordoba@wmeac.org to join!

The book club is sponsored by Books & Mortar: Get 10% off the price of your book club book when you purchase or order it through them!
