Planet & Pages
Join us as we read both non-fiction and fiction books about climate change. Together we will explore topics such as global warming, plastic pollution, environmental equity, and the proposed solutions to combat their effects. We will use “Cli-Fi” books to balance science with the human experience for a rounded understanding, and hopefully provide comfort and active purpose to build the future we want.
Meets at Charlotte and William Bloomberg Medford Public Library. Session Recaps can be found at the bottom of this page.

In Wasteland, journalist Oliver Franklin-Wallis takes us on a shocking journey inside the waste industry—the secretive multi-billion dollar world that underpins the modern economy, quietly profiting from what we leave behind. With this mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and occasionally terrifying investigation, Oliver Franklin-Wallis tells a new story of humanity based on what we leave behind, and along the way, he shares a blueprint for building a healthier, more sustainable world—before we’re all buried in trash.

7:00-8:30pm
Told in four parts—power, water, light, and time—The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it. It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness.
