The Santa Barbara Public Library has joined with other organizations to promote a community-wide reading effort around the topic of Climate Change.
We are all reading the book, Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change,
By Elizabeth Kolbert. This book outlines the science and the public issues around climate change.
She has much to say about ice melt and sea level rise!

You can participate in any of several events, and join in the conversation.

Local residents have several options for helping to mark Earth Day and fight against human-induced climate change. The Daily Nexus (January 16, 2007) reports:

"As many local organizations are putting the finishing touches on their own projects and Earth Day celebrations, a coalition of campus groups is making its own eco-conscious efforts to commemorate the holiday by launching a new interactive program designed to educate UCSB students about global warming.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor, UCSB Libraries, and the Santa Barbara Public Library have joined together to form the three-month long UCSB Reads for Earth Day campaign, which begins Jan. 25 with the on-campus distribution of 3,000 free copies of Elizabeth Kolbert’s Field Notes from a Catastrophe : Man, Nature, and Climate Change - a book about global warming.
