Hello Friends! Happy Spring!
We would like to invite you to a special Art, Ecology, Garden: Think, Talk & Do event at the OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park held a week early in honor of Earth Hour, an international celebration celebrating our planet's sustainability. Art, Ecology, Garden: Think, Talk & Do provides a unique opportunity to think and talk about issues of sustainable and ecological design, education, art, food and much more while gardening, getting dirty and having fun in a beautiful setting full of native trees, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. The event will take place on Saturday, March 28th from 10am-2pm and onwards into the future the first Saturday of every month. What is A Living Library? A Living Library is a holistic concept created by Bonnie Ora Sherk in 1981 and now sponsored by Life Frames, Inc., the non-profit organization she founded in 1992. A Living Library, or A.L.L. for short, provides a vision and shows a way to create meaningful and healing ecological and sustainable environmental and educational transformation in communities - locally and globally. A.L.L transforms sunken meadows and brownfields, urban sprawl and desolation, public parks and plazas, concrete and asphalt schoolyards, civic centers or undeveloped wastelands into vibrant and relevant community learning environments and highly visible public magnets offering innovative and practical community and economic development. In San Francisco, there are 3 Branch Living Library & Think Parks underway: OMI/Excelsior Branch, Bernal Heights Branch, and Chinatown Branch. All sites will soon be linked through Green Powered Digital Gateways.
