Dorset Libraries is hosting Green Libraries Week from October 21 to October 28, promoting climate awareness and environmental information.
Dorset Libraries is hosting Green Libraries Week from October 21 to October 28 as part of a national campaign to raise awareness about climate change. The week's theme is 'Climate Facts for a Greener Future', aiming to help people access reliable, evidence-based information and combat misinformation on environmental issues.
The campaign comes after a year marked by severe weather events and flooding across the UK, including in Dorset. Councillor Ben Wilson, cabinet member for transformation, customer and workforce at Dorset Council, said the theme felt 'particularly relevant' following these events. He added that libraries are 'trusted places where people can learn, explore ideas and discover practical ways to make a difference'.
Throughout the week, Dorset Libraries will host events and activities to help people learn about climate change and sustainability, with events also running during the October half-term. Dorset Libraries is partnering with Nature Recovery Dorset to develop a Nature Recovery Facts Challenge, which will help people learn about the county's wildlife, habitats and biodiversity.
