In this presentation with Meg Bowman, TransitionPDX will examine peak oil and climate change and their predicted impact on an already strained economy. The audience will learn practical steps for easing the strain of rising food and utilities costs with Harriet Fasenfest from Preserve and Lani from the Community Energy Project. And they’ll hear how Portland neighborhoods are gearing up for transition to a resilient future.

Raves about reading Faves @your library. Title Raves: The Great Northwest was an event where people could celebrate their love of reading and local writers. Listen in here for a discussion about who favorite Northwest authors are, what book(s) were read lately and why people liked it.

Leading off the discussion will be a panel of people known around town for their love of reading and books. Sharing their insights about books, writers and writing are:

• Lono Waiwaiole, whose Wiley crime noir series takes place in Portland
• Dennis Stovall and Karen Brattain, publishers at PSU’s student-run Ooligan Press
• Jeff Baker, book editor, The Oregonian

Shared faves with the group -- and the world. Title Raves recommendations are posted on the library’s website.
