We will once again recognize and host events for Climate Preparedness Week which is the last week of every September! Many Massachusetts Libraries collaborate with Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) on Climate Preparedness Week to prepare communities for extreme weather by offering programs about emergency preparedness and the intersection of climate change and social justice.
This year's theme is "Caring for the Earth, Yourself, and Your Community."
Here in Williamstown, the David & Joyce Milne Public Library is hosting several programs:

Did you know that the Milne Public Library now has a Sustainability page on the website? There we talk about our sustainability efforts, which include solar panels, heat pumps, a pollinator garden maintained by Bee Friendly Williamstown, a composting service that you can sign up for year-round, and a Seed Library offering free seeds in the Spring. Inside the building we have available a refillable water bottle fountain, reusable mugs at our coffee station, and unbleached paper towels in our bathrooms. In addition, we are an official Cooling Center in Williamstown!
