SBPL’s Book to Action title for 22 is Island Visions!
Island Visions, edited by Jacob Seigel Brielle and illustrated by Isaac Seigel-Boettner, features essays and infographics written by scientists, environmentalists, rangers, fishermen, and local outdoor enthusiasts and explores what is special about the Channel Islands and why it’s important to conserve the environment and cultural significance of this unique place. Related programming will help residents understand the ecology, geography, and history of the Channel Islands and our local oceans waters and inspire collective action and engagement on environmental issues.
Join us for a conversation with the creators, who will share their inspiration and how Island Visions became a book, with time to answer audience questions.
SBPL will be hosting additional programming exploring the themes of the book from April through June 2022.
About Book to Action
Book to Action is a program framework that takes the basic book club concept and expands it to create a dynamic series of events for adults and multigenerational groups. Librarians work closely with community partners in engaging community members to read and discuss a book on a current topic, attend author or speaker events, and put their new-found knowledge into action by participating in a community service project or civic engagement activity related to the book.
This project was supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
