K-State Libraries receives grant to support programs about climate change
K-State librarians Carol Sevin and Ellen R. Urton have received a $1,000 grant from Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change, an initiative of the American Library Association that will help libraries engage their communities in programs and conversations on the climate crisis. Resilient Communities strives to raise awareness and provide accurate information about the climate change crisis to the public through libraries. During the spring 2021 semester, Libraries staff will use the grant funds to support programming related to climate change. We are so honored to join Resilient Communities at K-State Libraries, said Sevin, science librarian. In a time when climate change is beginning to dramatically affect our everyday lives, we are eager to bring these fact-based, educational programs and important dialogues to our community.
