The Northeast Summit on Climate Adaptation for Library Facilities will be offering a webinar Creative Resilience: Climate Action through Arts Programming  on January 27 from 2:00-3:30pm.  The New York State Library is a founding member of this organization, which is a collaboration of state library agencies from Maine to Maryland. 

The webinar offers an inspiring session showcasing how libraries can lead climate action through the arts. This event will feature presentations on arts activism, mending and repair programming, and community craft swaps that spark creativity, build resilience, and engage patrons in sustainable practices. Discover practical ideas you can bring back to your library to empower your community and make climate action both meaningful and accessible.

This event was planned by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Massachusetts Library System, Rhode Island Office of Library & Information Services, and the Vermont Department of Libraries.

This public program is made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which enable the New York State Library to champion lifelong learning.
