One of the books is “The Marrow Thieves,” a young- adult dystopian novel by Cherie Dimaline in which global warming has destroyed the earth and, with it, most people’s ability to dream. Another is “Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future,” by Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland. You can organize your own book club discussion, attend a discussion at the library, or take part in related activities. Details: ReadBrave.org
