Planet & Pages
Join us as we read both non-fiction and fiction books about climate change. Together we will explore topics such as global warming, plastic pollution, environmental equity, and the proposed solutions to combat their effects. We will use “Cli-Fi” books to balance science with the human experience for a rounded understanding, and hopefully provide comfort and active purpose to build the future we want.
Meets at Charlotte and William Bloomberg Medford Public Library. Session Recaps can be found at the bottom of this page.
