Building Resilient Communities
WebJunction is hosting a webinar series to provide training for library staff, featuring library and community experts from diverse sectors. Ultimately, the project aims to inform a comprehensive research agenda that emphasizes the vital roles libraries and community organizations play in enhancing public health and fostering sustainable practices. Through these efforts, Building Resilient Communities strives to raise awareness of and increase knowledge about how climate change impacts the environment, public health and social equity, and to disseminate information so that public libraries and their community partners can develop and strengthen STEM learning ecosystems that create new, or bolster existing, strategic collaborations and partnerships to address local impacts of climate change.
