Join Village Community Specialist Tina Serota for a book club gathering to discuss the New York Times best-seller, Raising Hare: A Memoir, by political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together, while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares and the way they have been historically viewed in art, literature and folklore.
