Earthseed Book Club

Welcome to the Earthseed Book Club!

The name Earthseed Book Club is inspired by the extraordinary work of award winning science fiction writer, Octavia E. Butler. Her work, beginning in the 1970's, featured themes of social injustice, climate change, racial, gender, and political disparities, creating new communities, and many other themes that remain relevant today. The books selected in the club will be both fiction and non-fiction and will range in genre and topics. They will provide us with new, deeper knowledge and expand our vantage points to inform our community and our collective action.

We believe that reading is a great way to learn about new things, connect with others, and heal. We also believe that discussing books is a great way to share our thoughts and ideas, to learn from each other, and to have fun.

If you are a reader who is looking for a group of people to discuss books with, then we invite you to join our book club. We meet on the second and fourth Thursdays at 6PM.

To join our book club, please RSVP on our Events page. We will send you a Teams link with details on how to join the meeting online, the directions to the office if you want to join in person, and the chapter we will be discussing that week.

We hope to see you at our next meeting!

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Be prepared to read the book before the meeting.
  • Come to the meeting with questions or thoughts about the book.
  • Be respectful of other people's opinions.
  • Have fun!
