Call for Films
Submissions are being accepted through January 15, 2026, for the 2026 Princeton Environmental Film Festival, a signature Princeton Public Library event featuring films and filmmaker presentations which explore sustainability and environmental issues.

The Princeton Environmental Film Festival is under the direction of Kim Dorman whose focus is to present films with local, regional and international relevance, and engage our community in exploring environmental consciousness and sustainability from a wide range of angles and perspectives. Screenings are free and made possible through funding from The Whole Earth Center of Princeton, the library and others.
For Adult Learners
Princeton Adult School (PAS) invites adults from throughout the region to celebrate the fall season by embracing Back-to-School, PAS style.
In keeping with the brain/body connection, the Claire R. Jacobus Lecture Series this fall season weaves together insights from brain science, biology psychology, and the arts in eight compelling lectures under the heading:Brain and Body-An Owner’s Guide. The brainy and engaging speakers include a New York Times science journalist and several renowned professors from Princeton University.
Two other brain-energizing lecture topics — not part of the above series but also featuring recognized authorities — are the viability and importance of local journalism and the Salem Witchcraft Trials of 1692.
The 86-year old PAS, in addition to the above, features a platform of more than 300 classes, in-person and virtual, on a wide variety of academic, entertainment, recreational, health, and practical life management skills topics, appealing to individuals of all ages, genders, backgrounds, ethnicities and skills.
Among the many course offerings are a variety of “on the road” field trip experiences.
