Fowler Afoot:

A Walking Book Club

Wednesday, October 25
10:00 - 11:00 am

Join Fowler Afoot at the Fowler Branch Library in West Concord at 10 am to walk together on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. For October we will read Tracy Kidder's recent book, Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O'Connell's Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People. Copies of the book are available for pick up at Fowler and the eBook and audiobook are available on Libby. 

The plan is to walk the trail for about twenty minutes and then turn around. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we will meet inside. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
