He befriends a British beekeeper who maintains a touching custom of “telling the bees” important news of the day. And he crunches through a German forest to find the official mailman of the only tree in the world with its own address – to which countless people from across the world have written in hopes of finding love. These are just some of the last custodians preserving age-old rites on the brink of disappearance against all odds. Let Eliot Stein introduce you to all of them. \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - October 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfoct26/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261112T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261112T120000 DTSTAMP:20260516T163434Z CREATED:20260516T163425Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260516T163434Z UID:54787-1794481200-1794484800@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:History Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual discussion of:  TBA \nCopies of the book will be available at the Bacon Free Library.  \nOrder your own copy \nFor details on how to attend this virtual meeting via Zoom\, please contact director@natickhistoricalsociety.org \nThe Zoom link to the discussion will be sent at a later date.  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/history-book-club-2026-november/ LOCATION:MA CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261208T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261208T193000 DTSTAMP:20260616T174851Z CREATED:20260518T190849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260616T174851Z UID:54832-1796754600-1796758200@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Discussion DESCRIPTION:Join us at the library for a discussion of: Atmosphere: a love story by Taylor Jenkins Reid \nCopies of the book are available at the library. \nOrder your own copy HERE \nIf you are interested in attending\, please contact us at bflprogramming@minlib.net \nThe historic nature of our building limits accessibility. \nThis program is also offered in an accessible location at the Morse Institute Library.
