Abstract
Libraries, as important communities centers and partners, have an important role to play in education around tough subjects including emergency preparedness, our relationship to climate change and building community resilience. In this session, we will reflect on the outcomes of Climate Preparedness Week 2019 that included more than 90 library events across Massachusetts. We will explore lessons learned, best practices and what you can do to help foster climate change and resilience discussions and events at your institutions.
