No matter the size or the setting, landscapes around libraries can transform from a challenge to an opportunity for enhancing resilience and imparting knowledge. Professional landscape architect Lisa Giersbach from Massachusetts-based G2 Collaborative will discuss planning, implementing, and maintaining a landscape that meets sustainability, resilience, and education goals from the landscape architect’s perspective. Our panel of library directors, Margaret Woodruff of the Charlotte Public Library (VT), Jill DiPaolo of the Lewes Public Library (DE), and Kate Gomes of the Holbrook Public Library (MA) will discuss successes in fundraising for and creating spaces for community enrichment and enhanced resilience.

This event is part of the Northeast Summit on Climate Adaptation for Library Facilities, a collaboration of the State Libraries from Maine to Maryland. This webinar was planned by the Delaware Division of Libraries, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, and the Massachusetts Library System.

This resource guide was created in support of the Northeast Summit on Climate Adaptation, hosted by state library agencies from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont in November of 2023.
