During the month of January 2026, the Everett Library hosted a book talk with Dr. Susan Bodnar for her new book Unmoored Yet Unbroken. In conjunction with the event, a collection titled Ecology, Psychology, Sustainability: Exploring Human–Nature Relationships was curated to highlight works that examine how people understand, experience, and care for the natural world. The collection was curated by Susan Bodnar and Jennifer Govan, with the display designed by Kai Oh, Library Associate.
“We hope to foster conversations on climate and sustainability by showcasing library resources that increase awareness and prompt engagement, whatever the level – and we are pleased to share that this is our 10th such Everett Cafe book display! Curations began with Teaching About Species in 2019, followed by Climate S.O.S and Oceans of Plastic (2020); Digging the Earth, Tending the Soil and What Trees Tell Us (2021); Carbon and Climate (2022); Eco Fashion: Sustainability, Ethics, and Education (2022); Melting Ice, Rising Water and Indigenous Ways of Knowing (2025).” - Jennifer Govan
