Beyond the Book @ the Whaling Museum

The library co-sponsors this unique discussion. This month's selection is Soundings: Journeys in the Company of Whales by Doreen Cunningham. Mothers come is all shapes and sizes, we discover in this remarkable book. Part nature writing, part memoir, Soundings interweaves stories from Cunningham's time spent with an Iñupiaq family in Alaska and a journey she made several years later to study grey whales with a mischievous toddler in tow. Celebrate the resiliency of migrating whale mothers facing climate change and Indigenous whale hunters facing a changing world. Print copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk. The title is also in our digital collection. To register, CLICK HERE or call the museum at (631) 367-3418.

The discussion will be held at the Cold Spring harbor Whaling Museum, 279 Main Street.
