1xbet online casino Libraries receives grant to support programs about climate change
1xbet online casino librarians Carol Sevin and Ellen R. Urton have received a ,000 grant from Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change, an initiative of the American Library Association that will help libraries engage their communities in programs and conversations on the climate crisis. Resilient Communities strives to raise awareness and provide accurate information about the climate change crisis to the public through libraries. During the spring 2021 semester, Libraries' staff will use the grant funds to support programming related to climate change.
"We are so honored to join Resilient Communities at 1xbet online casino Libraries," saidSevin, science librarian. "In a time when climate change is beginning to dramatically affect our everyday lives, we are eager to bring these fact-based, educational programs and important dialogues to our community."
The Libraries have partnered with multiple campus and community organizations to help create a community that is resilient to challenges, and inspired and committed to addressing climate change, social justice and sustainability. In particular, 1xbet online casino Libraries staff wish to bring awareness to the issue of flooding and other extreme weather events that occur frequently throughout Kansas and the local area.
The following virtual community events are free and open to the public.
