Due to ongoing renovations at Teaneck Library, the Eco Book Club will be held at Teaneck Creek Conservancy at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck. This month, we will be holding our meeting outdoors in our Peace Labyrinth!
Join Eco Book Club hosted by Teaneck Creek Conservancy and Teaneck Public Library! Eco Book Club is a wonderful gathering of folks who share a love of nature and care for the earth. All are welcome to join in the friendly conversation at our monthly meetings or read along at home.
For the fourth month now, we're excited to begin our meeting out in nature! Join us at 6:30pm for an optional nature walk before the book discussion. We’ll take a mini-hike through Teaneck Creek Conservancy, exploring signs of hope in the world around us—whether it's new growth, wildlife returning, or the positive results of recent restoration efforts. It's a great way to connect with the themes of the book and experience nature firsthand.
Please remember to wear weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear for the walk. Bring binoculars if you have them—though it won’t be a bird-focused walk, they could enhance your experience.
Then, at 7pm, we’ll gather for the book discussion in our Peace Labyrinth.
A New York Times bestseller and literary favorite, World of Wonders blends memoir, nature writing, and cultural reflection in a lyrical celebration of the natural world. From axolotls to narwhals, fireflies to touch-me-not plants, Nezhukumatathil draws on childhood memories across the U.S. and her Indian-Filipina heritage to explore how the creatures she loves have helped her navigate life’s beauty and adversity. Each short essay serves as an ode to wonder, reminding us to pay attention—to the strange, the small, and the astonishing. With illustrations by Fumi Nakamura, this collection is both a heartfelt homage to nature and a call to rediscover curiosity and care.
