02/19/2025 6:00pm 02/19/2025 7:30pm "Wintering" Book Discussion

Join us in discussing the book Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat by Katherine May.

New York Times says: "Wintering does us the great service of reminding us that we are not alone in feeling undone. And although May’s book doesn’t offer a neat, easy ending in which she miraculously feels better, she does offer hope, an antidote to her tendency to “feel like a negative presence in the world.” She finds that hope in the ebb and flow of the seasons."

You can borrow this title as an ebook or eaudio from Overdrive. There are multiple copies of the book in our print collection. If you're not able to get one of those, and don't want digital, we will also have a limited number of books available at the Info Desk: please send us an email (candice-smith@icpl.org) if you would like to reserve one.
