About the Presenters
Dr. Kelsea Best is an Assistant Professor of Civil Environmental and Geodetic Engineering as well as the Knowlton School of Architecture at The Ohio State University. Dr. Best’s research focuses on understanding how climate change interacts with human societies and infrastructure, how people may adapt to climate change effects, and how climate adaptation measures can be designed and implemented in a just and equitable way. Some of her current projects include modeling individual and household migration decisions under climate change, assessing renters’ vulnerability to natural disasters and implications for housing security, identifying infrastructure needs for climate-migrant-receiving communities, and understanding dynamics related to climate gentrification in coastal cities. She is also the co-author of the book Migration and Displacement in a Changing Climate.

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
