SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 29, 2026 — This July, San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) recommits to environmental education, sustainability and stewardship with the return of Everybody’s Climate. Everybody’s Climate offers the opportunity to connect with and learn from others through poetry, music, science and practical actions that address the ongoing climate crisis. 

"Communities and countries are adapting to climate change because it's here. That's why SFPL has put together a diverse set of programs that show how climate issues intersect with all aspects of life, like economics, art, civic engagement and even our diet,” said Gregory Hom, SFPL Environmental Center Librarian. “How we collectively meet the challenge of keeping people and nature healthy in these changing conditions will be the ongoing work of thoughtful world citizens. Our aim is to empower that work through Everybody's Climate." 

On July 11, celebrate Library Day at ecology center The New Farm in the Bayview. Meet up with bicycle advocacy group San Francisco Bike Coalition for a green group bike ride to the venue, then explore Heron’s Head Park to observe San Francisco’s wildlife. Additionally, enjoy live performances from Bay Beats artists Luke Sweeney, Purnamasari and Fieldress as well as all-ages activities with Creative Mutual Aid. 

Visit the Main Library for special events with SFPL’s Latinx Center. On July 8, attend a film screening and filmmaker discussion of Water For Life, a documentary of Latin American Indigenous community leaders and their fight to protect precious water resources from mining and hydroelectric projects. On July 14, join the Marigold Project and SF Latinas Social Club to learn about the Mesoamerican roots of cacao and create personal pocket altars that reflect one’s relationship with Earth. 

Other Everybody’s Climate activities include a forest field trip and workshop series on communicating climate change with Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy Climate Change Community Engagement Program Manager, Nopal Reyes; a virtual tour of San Francisco’s biodiversity with the San Francisco Environment Department’s Senior Biodiversity Coordinator, Peter Brastow; and presentations by San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Elisa Rodriguez Furey on how San Franciscans can secure their energy future through clean, affordable public power. 

SFPL’s On the Same Page book selection for July, Eva Meijer’s Sea Now, paints a world where the Netherlands has been catastrophically changed by rising seas and examines resilience, loss and the challenge of a changing environment. Delve into the novel further on August 18 with SFPL’s Environmental Center Manager, Gregory Hom, in a conversation with Meijer and Sea Now translator Anne Thompson Melo.
