Animal Book Club
Third Thursdays at 6:00 pm at Botanical (421 E Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22902)
If you love reading and animals, Animal Book Club is for you! Through the lens of novels and nonfiction books, we’ll explore the ethics and emotions of our complex relationships with all creatures great and small. It’s more fun if you read the book in advance, but it’s absolutely not required. Everyone is always welcome. If you have questions or suggestions, please send email to: being@sentientsanctuary.org.
