The Barrett Branch is hosting an All We Can Save Circle open to all interested in sincere discussion centered on the climate crisis and for those seeking community rooted in wise and just solutions.

To accompany and expand on the topics in the anthology, All We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine K. Wilkinson, Dr. Wilkinson created All We Can Save Circles. Each guided conversation will focus on one of the anthology's ten sections composed of essays, poems, and art.  

When registering, you will be automatically signed up for all sessions. Participants are encouraged to make effort to attend as many sessions as possible, but of course, there is flexibility. For registrants, the library has purchased copies of the book, and pocket notebooks to gather thoughts and ideas.

When registering, please include an email adress. Please note, there is no correct answer to the registration question. This is just to help us prepare for the conversations. Contact mzimmerman@alexlibraryva.org for more information.
