Book Club: May Selection

The Sierra Club Central Florida Book Club Series continues with a blast from the past.

In May, we will be reading The Everglades: River of Grass by Marjory Stoneman Douglas. One of Florida's fiercest conservationists and a staunch defender of the Everglades, Marjory Stoneman Douglas published this seminal work in 1947 touting the importance of preserving the Florida Everglades. We highly recommend reading the 70th anniversary copy for an afterward by Michael Grunwald, who provides some context on what has occurred since the book's publication. Join us for conversations about the book in a relaxed setting.

We encourage RSVPs so we can get an idea of seating needs. Book club discussion will run from 7:00–8:00 PM. The food hall closes at 8:00, so we will wrap up right around then. If you plan to purchase food or drinks, feel free to arrive between 6:30 and 7:00 PM.

About the Book Club Series
The selections for the 2026 series include a mix of fiction, non-fiction, and narrative works, spanning climate fiction, Florida-based stories, and environmental themes. Check out the other Meetup pages for upcoming book selections if this month's is not your thing!

About the Location
The Great Southern Box Company, a food hall off Princeton, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, free parking in a designated garage, and easy access off I-4. Several food and drink options are inside the food hall, so there is always something new to try! Food and drink purchases are encouraged but completely optional — we want to ensure participation doesn’t come with required costs. We will do our best to select seating appropriate for the ever-changing Florida weather!
