Temperature Rising
 
In recent years, we have all experienced unusually high temperatures. In the past few weeks, records have been broken across Europe, while extreme heat has intensified wildfires and severe weather in the United States.
 
Is this simply nature taking its course, or has our pursuit of modern progress accelerated the problem? Whatever the cause, what should we do now? 

Books at the library like
​"Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet"
by Mark Lynas 
and
"The Heat Will Kill You First Life and Death on a Scorched Planet" by Jeff Goodell can help you figure it out.
​Reception Details: 
​Wednesday, August 5th during Artwalk from 5:30-8PM​
Why come to an art reception?  It's open to the public and it is fun!  No stuffy museum environment.  Just welcoming artists running the show.  Library parking available.    Have some lovely appetizers, drink and see some amazing art by local artists.  Temperature Rising entries are on display!
