SUMMARY:Home Energy Assessment: Empower Your Home
DESCRIPTION:Do you qualify for upgrades to lower home energy costs? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be recorded.  A link will be available here later. \nJoin The Environmental Center (TEC) for a hands-on session on improving comfort and reducing energy costs for your home! TECs mission is to weave sustainability into the everyday lives of Central Oregon residents\, and we’re committed to helping underserved communities access resources for a healthier\, greener future. \nThe Environmental Center and Energy Trust of Oregon are collaborating to provide energy-saving solutions to communities that have often been overlooked\, including low- to moderate-income households\, people of color\, Indigenous communities\, individuals with disabilities\, and rural residents. Through our free energy assessments\, you’ll be connected to incentives and resources that make home upgrades like insulation\, efficient heating\, hybrid water heaters\, and new windows more affordable\, comfortable\, and accessible. \nIn addition to sharing resources for TEC’s free program\, resources for standard incentives beyond the program will be shared\, so there’s something for everyone trying to have more sustainable\, low-cost upgrades for your home.  Find out more about the Home Energy Assessment program at https://envirocenter.org/programs/the-energy-challenge/hea/ \nEvent Highlights: \n\nLearn how the Home Energy Assessment program works and whether you qualify for assistance.\nGet guidance on signing up and accessing free or low-cost energy upgrades.\nConnect with Environmental Center staff ready to answer your questions about sustainability upgrades.\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Community Craft Swap and Share
DESCRIPTION:Share your unused craft supplies\, and find something new \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s winter: a time to get cozy\, stay inside\, and be crafty. If you’re creative and curious\, you may have craft supplies from many forgotten hobbies hiding under a bed or in a closet. Clear them out and bring them to the library! The thing that you’re done with and over\, might be the exact thing someone else wants to try out. Chat with other crafters\, and maybe learn something new. \nWe will have crafters-in-residence who can answer questions about crafting\, getting started\, or problem solving. Topics may include hand-stitching\, English paper piecing\, sewing and more. \nWe encourage you to bring clean\, usable supplies. Please no broken tools or unusable items. This will be more of a share than a strict swap: individuals may donate their items\, then select that which they feel is equitable in return. \nThis is an all ages program\, everyone is welcome. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:"Shark Heart" in Real Life - The Science of Studying Sharks-Sisters Library
DESCRIPTION:Learn about sharks and current research with Dr. Alexandra McInturf. \nSharks play a critical role in maintaining vibrant ecosystems in Oregon and around the world. Yet\, considered “dangerous” by popular media and threatened by human activity worldwide\, these organisms have faced global population declines. Dr. Alexandra McInturf has been studying shark species worldwide for the last decade\, including those among the most vulnerable. As an animal behaviorist\, she researches some of the most understudied components of these organisms\, including their social behavior. In this presentation\, she will introduce some of the key characteristics of sharks (what makes a shark\, a shark)\, talk about shark diversity\, and finally discuss some of the projects she and other researchers are undertaking on different species (including white sharks) in the Big Fish Lab at Oregon State University.

SUMMARY:Know Stories - Tribal/Shared History: Reflection & Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Danzuka shares tribal history\, impacts on public education\, engaging with tribal students/families\, and indigenous ways of living. She will also share current issues facing tribes and their members. All these topics center around treaties\, ceded lands\, tribal lifeways\, cultural restoration\, and language revitalization. \nLaurie has been an education advocate for preschool to post-secondary education for the past 20+ years. She grew up\, went to school\, raised her family\, and presently lives on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. She believes there can be a balance in tribal education and public education rather than choosing one over the other.
