Books & Brews In-Person

Join our lively Books & Brews meet-up on the 4th Wednesday of every month from 6-7 pm at Fringe Brewing in Downtown Ferndale. The discussion is casual, and all are welcome — even if you don’t finish the book!

This month we will read Of Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell by Sy Montgomery. When acclaimed naturalist Sy Montgomery and wildlife artist Matt Patterson arrive at Turtle Rescue League, they are greeted by hundreds of turtles recovering from injury and illness. Endangered by cars and highways, pollution and poachers, these turtles--with wounds so severe that even veterinarians would have dismissed them as fatal--are given a second chance at life. The League's founders, Natasha and Alexxia, live by one motto: Never give up on a turtle. But why turtles? What is it about them that inspires such devotion?
