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.

Through a content analysis of 154 library strategic plans, this study examines and classifies the various interpretations of the concept of sustainability. Organizational and financial sustainability is the most-cited, followed by environmental sustainability, by sustainability related to collection development and management and then by social sustainability. Almost half of the libraries adopted a narrow view of sustainability, making explicit reference only to one type of interpretation. Instead, the other documents reveal the awareness that sustainability is a broad and transversal concept, reconnectable to every aspect of contemporary libraries and perfectly in line with their strategic values.

[ENG] Report of the survey carried out by the Emilia-Romagna regional section of the Italian Library Association (AIB) in 2020-2021. The survey aimed at mapping the initiatives, planned or developed by the libraries located in Emilia-Romagna, in order to contribute to the United Nations 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project also intended to help work out a tool for similar surveys to be carried out in other Italian regions. [ITA] Rapporto dell'indagine condotta negli anni 2020-2021 dalla Sezione Emilia-Romagna dell'Associazione Italiana Biblioteche (AIB). L'indagine mirava a mappare le iniziative svolte o in programma nelle biblioteche dell'Emilia-Romagna al fine di contribuire agli Obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile (SDGs) dell'Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite. Il progetto intendeva anche supportare l'elaborazione di uno strumento utile ad indagini simili da svolgere in altre regioni italiane.

Français: Que font les institutions bibliothèques en matière d’éducation relative à l’environnement ? Cet article offre une première caractérisation sur la base de trois exemples de mobilisation des bibliothécaires en Allemagne, en France et en Amérique du Nord. Ces exemples témoignent d’une intensification des actions mais aussi d’un certain flottement dans le positionnement. Si l’ensemble des nombreuses facettes fonctionnelles des bibliothèques peuvent être investies, le milieu de la bibliothéconomie bénéficierait sans doute des éclairages de la recherche en éducation relative à l’environnement et à l’écocitoyenneté pour clarifier ses intentions, mieux se coordonner aux autres acteurs de terrain et jouer ainsi un rôle plus significatif dans les évolutions culturelles en cours. English: What are library institutions doing in regard to environmental education? This article attempts a first characterization on the basis of three examples of mobilization of librarians in Germany, France and North America. These examples show an intensification of actions but also a certain hesitation in positioning. If all of the many functional facets of libraries can contribute, at this stage, the library community would likely benefit from the insights of research in environmental education and eco-citizenship in order to clarify its intentions, better coordinate with other actors in the field, and thus play a more significant role in the ongoing cultural changes.

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.

Library workers at all types of organizations, as well as LIS students learning about this newest Core Value of Librarianship, will find this book an easy-to-digest introduction to what staff at a range of libraries have accomplished in incorporating sustainability into their decision making and professional practices. In addition, a discussion about the role of economics and sustainability will challenge readers to stretch in new ways to positively impact their communities. As a core value of librarianship, sustainability is not an end point but a mindset, a lens through which operational and outreach decisions can be made. And it extends beyond an awareness of the roles that libraries can play in educating and advocating for a sustainable future. As the programs and practices in this resource demonstrate, sustainability can also encompass engaging with communities in discussions about resilience, regeneration, and social justice.

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.
