On April 29th 2026 we are excited to feature two public libraries for Region 7 Presents: Funded Project Report Back on Indoor Air Quality Resources . Join partners from the Public Library of Brookline and the Hamden Public Library to hear how they introduced Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Kits into their circulating collection. Panelists will discuss why they pursued these programs, how they catalogued the kits and introduced them to their communities, as well as lessons learned and what other libraries should know if they’re interested in pursuing a similar project.
We will also hear from Kate Nyhan who has been involved with CAVI – Community Access to Ventilation Information. Kate co-founded the non-profit organization Community Access to Ventilation Information to help Canadian public libraries empower community members to measure and improve indoor air quality with CO2 monitors. In its first two years, CAVI gave 300 CO2 monitors to public library systems serving 30% of the Canadian population, across nine provinces and two languages.
