Les bibliothèques, conçues comme de grandes maisons sur le territoire national depuis les années 1980, n’ont-elles pas porté, en germe, les premiers éléments de nos réflexions environnementales ? Faut-il s’inquiéter, en priorité, de leur profil écologique, de la faiblesse de leur manteau thermique, ou célébrer la permanence d’un exceptionnel réseau de diffusion du savoir?

Depuis deux ans, l’équipe de la médiathèque de la Canopée s’est engagée dans une réflexion visant à la mise en place de pratiques internes plus écologiques. Elle a ainsi été conviée récemment, avec d’autres acteurs culturels, à participer à un groupe de travail initié par la Ville de Paris pour élaborer une démarche Culture et économie circulaire. Retour sur cette expérience.

In 1998 Brighton’s city council decided to build a new library. The library was designed using a public-private partnership model and the public was involved in the planning. It became in many ways a sustainable building, and since its inauguration in 2005 the library has received more than a dozen awards for it. The library was also well accepted by the citizens. The increase in usage, as well as technical innovations led to some adjustments to the construction. The library continuously evaluates its consumption in order to improve. Seven years later a critical look at the energy consumption and feedback from the building occupants show how well the edifice actually performs according to calculations. 1998 entschloss sich die Stadt Brighton zum Bau einer neuen Bibliothek. Die Realisierung erfolgte nach dem Public Private PartnershipModell, und die Öffentlichkeit wurde an der Planung beteiligt. Es entstand ein in vielerlei Hinsicht nachhaltiges Gebäude, wofür die Bibliothek bereits mehr als ein Dutzend Preise erhielt. Die Bibliothek wurde von der Bevölkerung gut angenommen. Der hohe Zuwachs an Nutzern sowie technische Neuerungen machten einige Anpassungen am Bau nötig. Die Bibliothek evaluiert kontinuierlich ihre Verbrauchswerte, um diese stetig zu verbessern. Sieben Jahre nach dem Bezug wirft dieser Beitrag einen kritischen Blick auf den Energieverbrauch. Ein Feedback der Gebäudenutzer zeigt, inwieweit das Gebäude heute die bei der planerischen Kalkulation bezifferten Ziele erreicht.

Un bibliobus électrique financé par quatre intercommunalités, géré par trois médiathèques et composé d’une équipe binationale cheminant à travers deux pays à la rencontre d’une trentaine d’écoles élémentaires. Tel est le concept innovant du bibus transfrontalier cofinancé par le programme européen Interreg VA Grande Région.

Environmental awareness is essential in the design of themodern public library, and there are various levels ofimplementing green design techniques in libraryconstruction. Library directors, trustees and the publicshould take the lead to define their local expectations forthe level of sustainability during the planning phase.While there are no requirements under the Georgia PublicLibrary Construction Policies, use of sustainable practicesmakes sense from both an economic and sociallyresponsible perspective, and local library boards shouldconsider implementing greentechniques. The LEED construction anddesign principles provide one tool forevaluating project sustainability.Library supporters must assumeleadership in deciding to build a greenfacility.

Libraries have been part of sustainable development. This paper discusses how the IFLA guidelines for libraries, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Canada 2030 Sustainable Development Goals helped shape the strategic plan of CFLA-FCAB and align our work in support of those goals.

The conversation about sustainability and libraries is no longer a pet project but rather a vital part of the strategy to ensure that libraries are around for the long haul. If you believe, like I do, that libraries make the world better, then you have come to the right place. Our work has never been more important, and it is time for us to harness our power, prestige, and potential in a much bigger way.

The FAO Library has implemented a monthly e-Bulletin on specific UN and FAO events related to the SDGs. Following the Organization goals to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the library is translating SGDs into tangible knowledge for staff in HQ and the field, broadening the dissemination of FAO output worldwide with open access to developing countries and by providing direct full text access to the most up to date literature, extended bibliographies and historical documents on the SDGs.

The Library Map of the World (LMW) team have compiled some tips and useful information to help you write compelling stories about your library activities, projects and programmes, and their impact on communities. Consequently, we would like to share your story about your library's contribution to the SDGs through the LMW website.
Vermeire, Geert (2020). Libraries as gardens: Creative project
Libraries as Gardens is a collective project, curated by Belgian writer and artist Geert Vermeire, and was launched at the Analogio Performance Arts Festival 2018 in Athens, exploring how gardens and libraries overlap, departing from the relation between inside/outside, involving walking, writing and site-specific practices. In the initial project in Athens in 2018 a group of international artists researched artistically how gardens and their trees can become a library in the public space of Athens, complemented with an exhibition in TAF - The Art Foundation.
