Discover the world of birds with celebrated actor Lili Taylor, author of Turning to Birds: The Power and Beauty of Noticing.

Birds are all around us, but they aren't always noticed. This was true for author Lili Taylor, who turned to birding during a much-needed break from work as an actor. Through binoculars, she was welcomed into a beautiful, symphonic world of nature. Her book, Turning to Birds, describes the joy of discovering this new world, filled with sights and sounds that are around us every day — if one stops to take a look.

Meet author Lili Taylor at this special event moderated by Tod Winston, Urban Biodiversity Specialist at NYC Bird Alliance. Plus, the first 25 attendees will receive a free copy of Turning to Birds, available while supplies last!

Following the event, there will be a Meet and Greet with book-signing.

This is a partner event with St. George Library Center and free to attend (with a live-stream option)!
