Eco-Literacy/Interdepartmental Reading Group (ELIRG)
The Eco-Literacy Reading Group is an informal and fun way to learn more about the environmental issues we seem to hear about daily from our leaders, the media, and perhaps even our kids.
Please join us for discussions about current environmental issues. A reader’s guide will be provided for those of us who haven’t yet read the particular book we’re discussing.
Currently, the book club is meeting in Manhattan, Kansas. If you are interested in hosting a club in your community, please contact Wendy Griswold at griswold@ksu.edu.
Reading Schedule: next book is being considered.
