The Michigan Library Publishing Club is pleased to announce our autumn Pub Club event focused on water, climate change, and ways to engage the local community and beyond toward a more sustainable future. We’ll be discussing the article “Partners in Local Resilience” from the newest issue of the Michigan Journal of Sustainability, published open access by Michigan Publishing in partnership with the Graham Sustainability Institute and the Dow Sustainability Fellows Program.

Free and open to the public, the Pub Club event will feature a lively discussion inspired by our diverse group of guest speakers, including: local artist Leslie Sobel; Dow Sustainability Fellows and editors of the Michigan Journal of Sustainability, Erin Hamilton and Neil Lewis, Jr.; and leaders in sustainability at the University of Michigan Library and in the local community.

Please invite family, friends, and colleagues to be part of this important conversation and opportunity to engage with key community members toward finding solutions, local to global, to environmental issues. There is no reading requirement to participate in the Pub Club, though we hope everyone has a chance to check out the article “Partners in Local Resilience” in advance of the event. All are invited to read and comment (#PubClub) on this article from the new issue of the Michigan Journal of Sustainability for free using the digital annotation tool Hypothes.is. (See Link Below)

Join us Thursday, November 10, 2:30-4:00pm for guaranteed good conversation and free coffee, treats, and collectible letterpress bookmarks handmade by Michigan Publishing staff and members of the local community at Wolverine Press. All Pub Club events are free and open to the public, so everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in the discussion. Add yourself to the Michigan Library Publishing Club group on Facebook and RSVP to the event for more details. We look forward to seeing you there!
