Happy Tenth Anniversary, Book Club! The Environmental Book Club, hosted by Cape Fear’s Going Green magazine and Old Books on Front Street, is happy to announce its tenth anniversary! At our inaugural meeting, in April 2011, we discussed The Sea Around Us, by Rachel Carson—an acknowledgement of our coastal location. We’ve been connecting around good books ever since, reading everything from classics to new releases. We were looking forward to throwing a big party to celebrate, but perhaps we’ll aim instead for a big party on, say, our 12th anniversary, by which time we hope we don’t have to worry about how many people are together in one space. The “library” is a little more like the “Little Free Library” concept, in that we are not concerned about getting our books back, necessarily; if they wend their way into the community and are enjoyed, we consider this a success. At our most recent pop-up event, a family that stopped by was initially reluctant to take any books, because they were about to finish their vacation and get back
