Power Pact!
That’s the theme for summer programming at the West Orange Public Library in West Orange, New Jersey. It’s a play on words: the uber-creative librarians planned a “power packed” summer of programming for patrons … and they tied it into a city-wide energy conservation crusade … a “power pact”. How is that for an integrated, forward-thinking, environmentally aware community?
I spoke to a group of twenty five-to-ten-year-olds and they were the most fabulously curious and proudly green groups I have ever addressed. These kids were excited to talk about science (most of them are actually going to BE scientists) and about reducing, reusing and recycling. Power packed, indeed.
Thank you for having me, West Orange. It was POWERful!
