A 4-meeting webinar on “Can We Stop Climate Change?” Each meeting is 90 minutes, from 6:30-8pm, starting on Wednesday, April 20th and continuing on Wednesdays April 27th, May 4th and May 11th.

Attendance at all sessions is required. Max of 15 registrants.

The first session covers the most recent information about the science and problems caused by climate change. The second session is mostly about renewable energy sources, primarily solar and wind, and the amazing advances in the past decade. The third meeting addresses climate models—specifically the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator which is used for policy-making decisions. The final session is focused on the audience we are trying to reach and actions that each of us can take.

The course is designed for people who are interested in learning more about climate change; becoming more effective in communicating with others; and actively mitigating the impact on our planet and ourselves. The course is not designed for climate deniers.

Teen Advisory Board (“TAB” for short) is a group of teens that meets once a month on ZOOM. The TAB works with library staff to improve events, space, and collection that we offer to teens. Take ownership of these services and help us create the library that you want to see! The TAB is open to any students ages 12 – 18, whether they attend public, private, or home school.  Contact youthdept@ewmlibrary.org

Family Story Time is officially back up and running in the Youth Department! We still have a couple of spots available for this Friday’s event. Each week will have a different in-person signup.

Register online (tinyurl.com/HybridFamilyTime) for virtual access to all 5 of the upcoming Family Times between now and the end of November.

Join friends from the Hampden Hampshire Conservation District to explore the wonderful world of Pollinators! Listen to a book that describes how pollinators affect the environment, the threats these species face, and how people can help protect them with pollinator gardens. Inspect a flower up close and personal to see how it’s put together, and finally get your hands dirty by making seed balls that will attract pollinators!
