Climate Resilience Hubs are community institutions that help educate residents about extreme weather preparedness and other impacts of climate change.
In 2020, Alexandria Library applied for and was awarded the Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change grant, a pilot program of the American Library Association. Through the grant, Alexandria Library joined the CREW Hub Network.
As a Hub, Alexandria Library dedicates materials, events and space to talk about our environmental impact, what we can do and ways to support one another. Library buildings will continue to be a place for people to seek relief from extreme weather.
Alexandria Library's Climate Resilience Hub is located at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch, 717 Queen St. Alexandria, VA 22314.
