Evanston Public Library continues its Climate Resiliency Series with events in March and April. The series has been highlighted in FEMA’s Resilient Nation Roundup

  • Rain Gardens Made Easy: Prevent the negative effects of heavy rains on our homes, school grounds, churches, and common spaces by applying three simple principles that will, in turn, promote the creation of beautiful and much needed native habitats. March 31, 5 p.m. Register.
  • Lunch and Learn: Why Native Plants? Which native plants absorb the most stormwater? Which are best for songbirds and caterpillars? Which feed the most wildlife? Bring your questions about native plants to Leslie Shad and Allison Sloan of Natural Habitat Evanston. April 8, 12 p.m. Register.
  • Resources Matter: Ways to Prevent Waste and Recycle Right: Join Mary Allen, Recycling and Education Director at the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County, as she helps us understand and master the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Contribute to the fight against climate change.  April 22, 12 p.m. Register.
  • Lunch & Learn: Deconstruction, The Sustainable Choice: Deconstruction is the selective dismantling of building components for reuse, repurposing, recycling, and waste management — different from demolition. Join Anne Nicklin, Director of Deconstruction Services at the Evanston Rebuilding Warehouse as she answers your questions and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at deconstruction sites in Evanston and the North Shore. Thursday, April 22, 1 pm. Register.
