About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

We will have a picnic under the trees by the Roma Street Parkland Fountain at Roma Park. Bring a picnic rug, snacks, and anything else you would like at a picnic. If the weather is rainy, we will be under the undercover area between Bayan Lawn and the Garden Room cafe (alongside the road).


Genre for the month: Non-fiction: microogranisms in our world

Blurb:
"Your body is teeming with tens of trillions of microbes. It's an entire world, a colony full of life.

In other words, you contain multitudes.

They sculpt our organs, protect us from diseases, guide our behaviour, and bombard us with their genes. They also hold the key to understanding all life on earth.

In I Contain Multitudes, Ed Yong opens our eyes and invites us to marvel at ourselves and other animals in a new light, less as individuals and more as thriving ecosystems.

You'll never think about your mind, body or preferences in the same way again."
