Program Spotlight
Sustainability Programs on the SLI Website
A new member benefit has been added to the SLI website! Members will now have access to our sustainable programming list! The growing list of programs is designed to provide you with valuable resources and support for planning and implementing sustainable events and activities. Be sure to continually check the resource as we continue to curate a selection of programs for you to implement at your library!
To access the new benefit, head to our Resources tab and look for Sustainable Programs under “For Members”.
We invite you to join us and our president, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, for a presentation hosted by OCLC as a part of their Distinguished Seminar Series: Sustainability—A Call to Action for the Library Community.
This program will explore the challenges and opportunities for libraries in the face of climate change and hear about how many in our field are already answering the call for leadership on sustainability. Throughout the program, Rebekkah will highlight how libraries can lead on sustainability and learn practical ideas to address climate change and also address the triple bottom line definition of sustainability to ensure a more hopeful future. Tune in to see many of the libraries in the Sustainable Library Certification Program featured in Rebekkah’s presentation. To learn more and register for the program, please click here.
We are excited to announce that the Sustainable Libraries Initiative will be hosting a meetup at ALA Annual in Chicago this year. The event will provide a platform for attendees to connect, share ideas, and learn more about sustainability within libraries with like-minded individuals.
We would like to invite all members of the SLI community, as well as those who are interested in our mission, to join us in June for this great opportunity to meet and connect with others who share a passion for sustainability in libraries.
If you are planning to attend ALA Annual, please let us know via email so we can keep you updated on the details of the meetup. We look forward to seeing you there!
