"Climate Change Conversations in Libraries: A Sabbatical Training Adventure" is chapter seven in the book Libraries Promoting Reflective Dialogue in a Time of Political Polarization (ACRL 2019). As part of a twenty-four-week sabbatical, Charney set out to train librarians in each New England state on a range of methods for facilitating climate change conversations. The ultimate goal of Facing the Future: Facilitating Climate Change Conversations in Your Library was to encourage—more honestly, to implore—librarians to see themselves as change makers and bridge builders. The training pressed participants to answer an essential and painful question. How will each of us—as individuals and community members—hold the global, life-threatening reality of climate change while leading our communities toward a kinder, saner, and safer world? Facing the Future, a four-hour training, offered participants an opportunity to look squarely in the face of climate change while practicing leadership exercises and mindfulness techniques.
