in the midst of life we are in death!

If you’re Australian and didn’t get the memo, there’s a nationwide climate protest on January 10 being held by Uni Students for Climate Justice.

I just read this on twitter…

this is terrifying

For some context:  Mallacoota is a tourist town, usual population is a little over 1000, but at peak tourist times, it can be as high as 8000. There was an estimated 4000 there today, when the extreme heat, peaking at 49C/120F, combined with high winds, to spark a large, intense fire in the bushland around the area. This pretty much blocked off all ways out of the town, leading to all 4000 people being evacuated to the beach, with the emergency plan basically being “If the fire comes this way, get in the water” Thankfully, the wind did change direction, and as far as I’ve heard, most of the town was spared, but this is how bad the drought, heat, and fire situations have become in australia. And our government still refuses to make solid policies on climate change.

“Libraries play an important role in our society. This article was outside of this contributor’s specific area of expertise, and has since been removed.”

Any librarians with ideas for how we could help keep them going?
