Film Screening: Bag It

Wednesday, November 30th
6:00pm-7:30pm

FREE!

Glen Park Public Library
2825 Diamond Street


Try going a day without plastic. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable and frightening ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. What starts as a film about plastic bags evolves into a wholesale investigation into plastic and its affect on our waterways, oceans, and even our own bodies. We see how our crazy-for-plastic world has finally caught up to us and what we can do about it.

Bag It has been garnering awards at film festivals across the nation. What started as a documentary about plastic bags evolved into a wholesale investigation into plastics and their effect on our waterways, oceans, and even our bodies.
After the film Alexa Kielty, a representative from SF Environment, will facilitate a discussion and answer questions about the city's recycling programs.

Author Reading: The Comfort Garden

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

Glen Park Branch Library

6:30 pm

Author Laurie Barkin will discuss, "The Comfort Garden," her account of the five years she worked as a psychiatric nurse on the surgical/trauma unit at San Francisco General Hospital.

The Comfort Garden serves as a metaphor for the emotional support caregivers need to do the work they do and illuminates the issues of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma that may develop in caregivers when exposure to tragedy becomes routine.
