Steven Hawley read from Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Chaotic World (Patagonia) at outdoor bookstore Bart's Books in Ojai, Calif. Events programmer Emma Bailey said, "The issue of removing our local Matilija dam has been going on since before I was born. When I heard our neighboring independent publisher Patagonia was releasing a book on dams, I jumped to organize a space to come together around this subject. I see these events as more than just publicity, but occasions where we build relationships and strengthen commitments to each other."
