Climate Preparedness Week 2022: The Planet’s Health and Yours
September 24 – 30, 2022 is Climate Preparedness Week. This year's theme is The Planet’s Health and Yours: Facing the Invisible Impact of Climate Change. Climate Preparedness Week is held every year at the end of September to raise awareness and provide educational programs to help prepare communities for extreme weather events. The Concord Free Public Library, in partnership with the Massachusetts Library System and the Blue Marble Librarians, joined in this initiative of Communities Responding to Extreme Weather (CREW) in 2019. This is the Concord Free Public Library’s fourth year participating in Climate Preparedness Week. [View Program Brochure]
