Join Wilkinson Public Library on Wednesday, July 15th at 5:30 pm for a special evening with Terry Tempest Williams as she discusses her best-selling new book, The Glorians: Visitations from the Holy Ordinary .

“I go to Terry Tempest Williams for the reasons I go to Whitman and Thoreau: to recover a capacious spirit and to rejoin the urgent living world. She gives me something bigger than hope.”―Richard Powers, author of The Overstory

From the acclaimed nature writer and New York Times bestselling author, a revelatory work of narrative nonfiction exploring beauty, climate change, and transformative moments of hope in a world beset by uncertainty.

You can find physical copies of the book through the library catalog, as well as ebooks and audiobooks through Libby and Hoopla.  Between the Covers Bookstore also has copies of The Glorians for sale at 10% off off the cover price.  This is the best options for purchasing if you would like to have a book signed. See information below about book signings at this year’s OBOC.
