Poetry Takes Flight: Birds of California
The Friends of the Castro Valley Library are honored to present James Roethe, author and poet, in a discussion of his latest book Poetry Takes Flight: Birds of California on Thursday, November 16 from 2 pm to 3:30 pm.
James Roethe is a life-long hiker and birdwatcher who has written in verse about birds seen on a typical hike in the Bay Area. The resulting book of poems focuses on the lives of birds we see in our familiar surroundings and often take for granted. Jim will read several of his poems and will talk about his many birdwatching adventures.
This program is open to all at no charge, but advance reservations are required at www.aclibrary.org. Light refreshments will be served.
Carol Lyke, a long-time member and leader with Castro Valley Friends of the Library and an avid birdwatcher, spent many years enjoying birds around the world. She was a strong proponent of books and reading, especially for children, and dedicated much of her life to teaching and exploring the natural world. This program in her honor explores subjects very dear to her.
