THIS EVENT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 8.
Christian Cooper is a New York Times best-selling author with his debut memoir, Better Living Through Birding. He is also the host of and a consulting producer for National Geographic TV's hit series "Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper." Practically born with a pair of binoculars in his hands, he served as president of the Harvard Ornithological Club in his college days. Currently, as a vice president of NYC Audubon, he advocates for greater, safer access to green spaces for all, with a focus on outreach to youth in underserved communities. A longtime activist on issues of racial justice and LGBTQ equality, Christian Cooper combined his passions in the graphic short story "It’s a Bird” from DC Comics. He continues to seek synergy at the intersections of storytelling, progressivism, and environmentalism.
This program is a collaboration of Albert Wisner Public Library and Orange County Audubon. It will feature a conversation with Christian Cooper, followed by Q&A from the audience. Christian Cooper will then sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase on-site through our local bookseller for the event, The Book & Nook Bookshop.

“An uplifting and inspiring read. Christian Cooper is a national treasure.” - Van Jones, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Van Jones Show
