Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change, an initiative of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥ (°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡Ö±²¥), helps libraries engage their communities in programs and conversations that address the climate crisis.

The pilot program (2020-21) funded film screenings, community dialogues and related events based on local interest in 25 public and academic libraries. It also funded the creation of a suite of free programming resources about the climate crisis that is available to all libraries.

Applications for this pilot phase are now closed.
