August Book Club Spotlight: Lynda V. Mapes Live with KUOW
You're invited Wednesday, August 27 at 6:30 p.m. at The Seattle Public Library Central Library to an evening of insight and inspiration as KUOW Book Club host Katie Campbell sits down with Seattle author and environmental journalist Lynda V. Mapes to discuss her latest book, The Trees Are Speaking: Dispatches from the Salmon Forests. Just released in April, Mapes’ newest work is already being hailed as essential reading for anyone interested in environmental stewardship. The book explores the vital role of old-growth forests in our ecosystems and the deep, often overlooked connections between trees, salmon, and Indigenous knowledge. Together, Campbell and Mapes will delve into how these stories came to life—asking questions like: What can we learn from the forest? And how can Indigenous communities guide us in protecting these ancient ecosystems? This is our August Book Club pick, and we’d love for you to read along and be part of the conversation. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is required to attend. KUOW Live Events Sponsored By Phinney Ridge Painting and BECU.
