The Great Outdoors Book Club presented by 3ROC & CC Mellor Memorial Library has resumed our 2024-25 season! We will be reading "Paw Paw: In Search of America's Forgotten Fruit," by Andrew Moore for November! Pick up the book at 3ROC or the library, then head on over to our 2024 Book Club page on Facebook and join in the discussion as we read together!
We will be offering weekly discussion questions for the book through the Facebook group, and our monthly in person discussion will be held on Wednesday, December 4th at C.C. Mellor Memorial Library in Edgewood.
Copies of the book are now available both for lending at CC Mellor Memorial Library and for purchase at 3 Rivers Outdoor Co.
About Paw Paw
"The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance. Historically, it fed and sustained Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved African Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic grower’s dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive, and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer agents yet discovered."
