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.

As climate change brings extreme heat, wildfires, stronger storms, and other disasters, it’s normal to feel anxious or hopeless. In Generation Dread, Britt Wray explains that these emotions show how much we care about the planet. By recognizing and accepting our climate feelings, we can begin to protect the Earth. Wray, a scientist who studies the mental health effects of climate change, combines research, therapy insights, and personal stories to show how we can connect with others, find meaning, and live well in an unstable climate.
