Down to Earth
Book Club
The Darke County Park District is pleased to announce the Down to Earth
Book Club’s spring selection. For their sixth season, they will read
The Moon by Whale Light: And Other Adventures Among Bats’ Penguins,
Crocodilians, and Whales by Diane Ackerman. In a rare blend of
scientific fact and poetic truth, the acclaimed author of A Natural
History of the Senses explores the activities of whales, penguins,
bats, and crocodilians plunging headlong into nature and coming up with
highly entertaining treasures.
Each quarter the Down to Earth Book Club will feature a different book,
some by well-known nature writers, some about outdoor adventure, and
even some about pioneers settling Ohio. Everyone is invited to read the
book and join them at the Nature Center to discuss the work, enjoy some
yummy treats, and suggest future books.
This season’s book club will meet on Monday, May 1st at 6:30pm at the
Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center. Please call ahead to let them
know you plan on participating in the book club discussion in May. The
Darke County Parks Nature Center can be reached at (937) 548-0165.
