YOU ARE INVITED to Art, Ecology, Garden: Think, Talk & Do event at the
OMI/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park on Saturday, August 29th,
10am-3pm at San Miguel Child Development Center.
Art, Ecology, Garden: Think, Talk & Do provides a unique opportunity
to discuss sustainability, ecology, education, art, food and much more
while digging, moving materials, gardening, getting dirty and having
fun in a soon-to-be beautiful setting full of native trees, fruits,
flowers, and vegetables.
What is A Living Library?
A Living Library is a holistic concept and place-based framework
developed 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,
nationally, globally. Incorporating systemic design, 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, plus more.
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.
