Across our planet, humans are facing a series of existential water crises: from pollution and deteriorating water quality, disappearing fish stocks, droughts, floods, melting glaciers, and climate change. In this talk, Dr. Nick Breyfogle will explore what we can learn from history as we confront the water challenges before us.

He is currently working on an environmental history of the Lake Baikal region of Siberia, tentatively entitled "Baikal: the Great Lake and its People."
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.
