Feb. 18-26 - Celebrate Black History Month with the Marin County Free Library

Throughout Black History Month, the Marin County Free Library (MCFL) is working to create awareness of the rich and complex Black experience in the United States and beyond. A variety of special events are being held online through February.

“Food for the Soul: Celebrate Black History at MCFL” can be found on the MCFL calendar of events, which was created in conjunction with County of Marin African American Employees Association (COMAEA).

Also, MCFL has many rich resources to continue your learning experience beyond Black History Month:

• The library's streaming service, Kanopy, has an extensive collection of documentaries and films to entertain and educate. Search for “Black History Month” “Black Lives Matter” or “African American” to bring up a selection.
• If you're looking for great books that address Black history, MCFL staff recommends these resources:
  • Black Joy: Titles that celebrate and give voice to the Black experience
  • #ownvoices New young adult works by Black creators

Feb. 23 - Community Meeting on Sea Level Rise in Tam Valley

How will sea level rise affect you? The level of Richardson Bay is expected to rise at least 1 to 2 feet by 2035, which means the low-lying areas of Tam Valley will flood daily. And that’s before storm surges and king tides. It’s time to get involved! You're invited to attend the Tam Valley NRG Sea Level Rise Community Forum on February 23 at 7:00pm. Register for the Zoom session and don't forget to check out the Taskforce's 1-pager and sea level rise maps, too!

Feb. 25 - Pathways to Decarbonization: How we can get from here to there

The past six years have been the hottest in human history.

On February 25 from 4:00-5:30pm, join Environmental Forum of Marin and Marin Conservation League for an event to discuss decarbonization: what is it, how does it work, and what can we do to support it?

For more information and to register, visit the Environmental Forum of Marin's website..
