Your Local Library is Fighting Climate Change

-> 🚨 Tell your U.S. reps not to cut federal funding for public libraries.
-> Short Survey: Tell us what you think of Second Nature

Libraries are icons of the sharing economy. When we borrow books, media, and tools from the library, we save ourselves from needing to buy new stuff. But did you know that libraries are also community hubs for climate resilience? From heatwaves to hurricanes, thousands of people have used libraries as free spaces to escape the elements and find respite. 

In this community episode, we're everything that our listeners get from their local libraries.
