Sanibel library offers range of programs and topics
The Sanibel Public Library provides a variety of programming for adults and children.
With support from the Sanibel Public Library Foundation, the library hosts a series of virtual author talks to include bestselling authors and thought leaders. The next one will take place on Aug. 25 at 2 p.m. with award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery, Ph.D., author of “When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America’s Black Botanical Legacy.” She will talk about her book during an insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery.
Montgomery is a writer, researcher and scholar who pursues a common theme of understanding how individuals perceive, respond to and are impacted by the environments in which they exist. Her primary laboratory-based research has been focused on the responses of photosynthetic organisms (i.e., plants and cyanobacteria) to external light cues. Additionally, Montgomery pursues this theme in the context of effective mentoring and leadership of individuals, and the role of innovative leaders in supporting success. She also authored the book “Lessons From Plants.”
