L.A. Weather by María Amparo Escandón follows the lives of a family through a year in Los Angeles, and is this year's pick for One Book, One County. The book touches on many themes including identity, family, marriage, Keila's work as a sculpture artist, and Oscar's increasing climate anxiety.

The City of Glendale is developing a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), which will serve as the roadmap for the city to equitably achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier. The CAAP will also demonstrate how Glendale will adapt and improve its resilience to both existing and future climate change impacts.

Join us to discuss the connection between L.A. Weather and the CAAP as well as an open discussion about climate anxiety. Participants will also learn more about the CAAP, and have the opportunity to provide feedback.
