LIBRARY TO HOST AUTHOR, ACTIVIST LIZ WALKER

EcoVillage at Ithaca co-founder and award-winning author Liz Walker will discuss and sign her latest book, “Choosing a Sustainable Future: Ideas and Inspiration from Ithaca, NY,” Wednesday, January 19 at 6:00 PM in the Tompkins County Public Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.

Touted as “moving and inspiring,” Walker’s book provides, through beautifully-told stories, examples of how individuals and groups in Ithaca are working to foster sustainability through cooperation, local production, environmental stewardship, social justice and creativity.

Walker is a lifelong grassroots organizer for peace and environmental groups and is recognized as an authority on co-housing and sustainable communities.

Buffalo Street Books will be selling copies of “Choosing a Sustainable Future . . .” at the Library immediately before and after Walker’s presentation.
