The Morrill Memorial Library is partnering with the Ashland Library and other Massachusetts libraries to bring a virtual program to our communities on Thursday, September 8 at 7:00pm via Zoom.

Quentin Prideaux presents the basic science of climate change and its effect on New England. Combining powerful images of the early effects of climate change with concrete data on what is happening right now, this presentation is both moving and enlightening. The talk will cover the impacts and causes of climate change, the actions we need to take, and what it all means for the Northeast.
