Join Donna for an Adult Zoom Book Club where you can get in on the discussion from the comfort of your own home. This month we will be discussing The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Michele Richardson.
1936. Tucked deep into the woods of Troublesome Creek, KY, lives blue-skinned Cussy Carter, the last living female of the rare Blue People ancestry. She joins Roosevelt’s Pack Horse Library Project of Kentucky and becomes a traveling librarian, riding across slippery creek beds and up treacherous mountains on her mule to deliver books and other reading material to the impoverished hill people of Eastern Kentucky. Along her route, Cussy faces doubters at every turn, but is determined to bring the joy of books to the hardscrabble Kentuckians.
This program is held through ZOOM. Registration is Required. You can email Donna at dbraasch@sjcfl.us to register.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Join Amy, a librarian, and AyoLane, a naturalist, for an outdoor book club that focuses on our natural world. We’ll discuss our all-time favorite nature titles, both fiction and non-fiction. The book club will meet at parks throughout St. Johns County, practically in your own backyard!
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived intimately with the earth. We were in the wild and of the wild. Today, we live mostly urban lives―and our vital wildness has gone dormant. As a result, we’re more isolated, unhealthy, anxious, and depressed than ever, and our planet has suffered alongside us. With Rewilding, Mortali invites us to shed the effects of over-civilization and explore an inner wisdom that is primal, ancient, and profound. Whether you live in the middle of a city or alongside the woods, the insights and practices on these pages will bring you home to your wild, wise, and alive self. Micah Mortali brings together yoga, mindfulness, wilderness training, and ancestral skills to create a unique guide for reigniting your primal energy―your undomesticated true self―and deepening your connection with the living earth.
This event is free and open to the public, but for social distancing purposes, registration is required. If the weather is sunny, please bring your own camp chair for sitting out under the trees. If it’s rainy, we’ll be sitting in the park pavilion. Masks are encouraged, social distancing is required. Feel free to bring your own snacks & beverages! Questions? Please call Amy at 904.827.6942 or email at aackerman@sjcfl.us.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Join Amy, a librarian, and AyoLane, a naturalist, for an outdoor book club that focuses on our natural world. We’ll discuss our all-time favorite nature titles, both fiction and non-fiction. The book club will meet at parks throughout St. Johns County, practically in your own backyard!
This meeting will take place at Canopy Shores Park. We’ll discuss “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston. This book is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston’s masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published. Throughout the book, Hurston uses nature as a metaphor and symbol. From 1938 through 1939, Hurston was a folklorist and contributor to the Florida division of the Federal Writers’ Project, part of the Works Progress Administration. During that time, Stetson Kennedy was in charge of folklore, oral history, and ethnic studies of the Florida Writer’s Project.
This event is free and open to the public, but for social distancing purposes, registration is required. If the weather is sunny, please bring your own camp chair for sitting out under the trees.
