His presentation saved as a pdf file is available here
Climate Action Ilkley has arranged the creation of a Special Collection in the Ilkley Public Library on ‘Climate Change and the Climate Emergency’. Dee Hood, (Development Officer for Bradford Libraries) and Patrick Hill (Team Leader, Libraries at Bradford) have supported the initiative and the planning of this CAI initiative. There will be a dedicated area in the Library for our books and we will have a noticeboard/display area on CAI Information and Events as well as an index to the collection.
We will have ~40 books to start the Library collection. These will be available via the normal borrowing scheme and some housed as reference material for use in the Library. We are also adding a number of children’s books on the climate emergency facing our world.
The books have been purchased from cash donations to CAI, as well as book donations from CAI Members.
The collection will help develop awareness of the Climate Emergency, promote our CAI activities and importantly will support our local Library.
The Special Collection will be opened on Saturday, October 9th 2021 at 3pm in the Town Library with our Town Mayor, Mark Stidworthy. Join us if you can. More details to follow.
A climate scientist describes the world his children are on course to inherit without urgent and drastic action.
