Join us virtually to discuss Spike Carlsen's new nonfiction book, "A Walk Around the Block: Stoplight Secrets, Mischievous Squirrels... & Other Stuff You See Every Day (And Know Nothing About)"
About this month's title:
In this celebration of the seemingly mundane, Carlsen opens our eyes to the engineering marvels, human stories, and natural wonders right outside our front door. He guides us through the surprising allure of sewers, the intricacies of power plants, the extraordinary path of an everyday letter... all the while revealing that this awesome world isn’t just a spectator sport. Engaging as it is endearing, A Walk Around the Block will change the way you see things in your everyday life. Join Carlsen as he strolls through the trash museum of New York City, explores the quirky world of squirrels, pigeons, and roadkill, and shows us how understanding stoplights, bike lanes, and fine art of walking can add years to our lives. In the end, he brings a sense of wonder into your average walk around the block, wherever you are.
A limited number of physical copies of the selected title are available in advance at the Belt Branch for check out.
