Transforming diverse public spaces into ecological learning sites
A Living Library (A.L.L.) is a powerful framework for creating place-based, ecological change in communities and schools. In our branches in San Francisco and New York City, students and adults focus on the environment, gardening, watersheds, literacy, multi-arts, technology, health, nutrition, youth leadership, and civic responsibility.
