Witness to Change: Conversations on Coastal Impact: South Regional Library In-Person
Every human being has a relationship with water. It forms our bodies, drives our
commerce, and defines many of the places we live. Since civilization began, people
have attempted to control water—keeping it close, but in its place. But what happens
when the relationship with water changes? How do we react when the sea rises, when
land is lost, and when flooding affects our homes?
Witness to Change: Community Conversations on Coastal Impacts offers a place to
have these conversations. This adult reading and discussion program, led by scholars,
offers participants the opportunity to learn more about issues arising from the complex
and changing human relationship with water. See how these issues are both local and
global, and join your neighbors in an exploration of how others are adapting to our
changing world.
