[Michlib-l] Sustainability & Climate Change Programming

[Ryan Tackabury]

I just want to second what was said about Chris. We hosted him for a virtual program earlier this year. He is a great speaker, has a wealth of knowledge, and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Anna,
 We hosted Chris Edwards and his climate talk this past May and he is excellent! His presentation offers great information that is accessible to non climate scientists and he is very personable and easy to work with.

His website is www.weatherchris.com<http://www.weatherchris.com> , email is rfrhomes at live.com<mailto:rfrhomes at live.com> and you can find his talk on youtube if you want to preview his presentation. https://youtu.be/vzaBSK4lwxs?feature=shared

Chris is based in metro Detroit and we are up in Northport - so we reached out to other local libraries to schedule him around the same time so he had more than one reason to make the trip north. And we had a great turn out! We highly recommend him.

Thank you,
Julie

Hello All,



I recently started the WebJunction series regarding handling Climate Change at the library. I highly recommend checking in on this webinar series if you haven’t already. It’s free and you can watch the first two webinars recordings, including Sustainability 101 (https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/sustainability-101.html)\<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/sustainability-101.html)/>



I am looking for programming ideas that can align with Sustainability and Climate Change topics, but I am having trouble finding out where to start. As the Adult Programmer at the library, I am comfortable in facilitating certain programs, but really wish to have experts talking about the subjects at hand.



If any area libraries have had presentations/programs on topics that relate to this and could suggest presenters or themes, it would be very helpful.



Our library is located just north of Kalamazoo on the west side of the state. We like to have presentations in-person, as we do not get a lot of attendees for Zoom/Live Stream programs (I do see the irony in having someone travel to talk about climate change, but getting the information out is important, so…)



Thanks so much!
