Bibliotheken sind wohl ein frühes Beispiel für die Sharing Economy. Durch den kollektiven Erwerb von Büchern (entweder durch Subskriptionen im Fall von privaten Bibliotheken oder in öffentlichen Bibliotheken durch Abgaben) haben sie einen großartigen Weg gezeigt, maximalen Zugang zu gewährleisten und gleichzeitig den Konsum zu reduzieren.

Bibliosuisse und insbesondere die Kommission Biblio2030 verstehen sich als Gesprächspartner für alle, die sich im Kontext Nachhaltigkeit und Bibliotheken engagieren wollen, die nach Lösungen für ein Problem suchen, das nur gemeinsam angegangen werden kann und die bereit sind, ihre eigenen Handlungsspielräume mutig zu eruieren und beherzt auszuschöpfen.

Crafts: the backbone of children's events everywhere. There's nothing quite like gluing pipe cleaners and pompoms, cutting paper and coloring, wrapping and taping, painstakingly creating ... and then throwing these masterpieces in the trash.

Libraries exist in every kind of neighborhood; they already serve as community hubs; they're often supported by Friends groups; they have existing resources (nature books); they're often more flexible than schools; they're known for being safe---and they're a perfect, if unexpected, institution to connect people to nature.

Designing lighting for zero-net energy buildings poses unique and fascinating design problems. Beyond the challenge of providing lighting loads on the order of .1W/sqft², these projects require toolsets beyond the typical scope of a lighting design consultant, including detailed controls design and photometric predictions of available daylighting. These new roles are part of a broader trend in lighting design as, driven by new code requirements and a general push towards high-performing buildings, lighting design is becoming a more technical, metrics-driven profession. There's a delicate balancing act here, and indeed we have the same responsibility to these projects as any other: lighting that is comfortable and functional for the occupants, that supports the architectural gesture, and that is available within the project budget. So the task is not simply to design the absolute minimum energy density (although yes, also that), but rather to identify ways in which all of these constraints may be harmonized, and embrace the collaborative and iterative workflow that these projects demand. This case study is written for architects, engineers, owners and others that want an overview of the lighting design process for ultra-low energy density buildings. I'll gloss both the absolute basics and the more esoteric technical details in favor of discussing practical techniques that we used successfully to further the project goals, and the trade-offs we confronted.

As a librarian pursuing an MBA at the University of South Florida, I've been learning about approaches to organizational sustainability that have shaped my library work. In business school, we're taught that sustainability is like a stool with three legs representing its environmental, financial, and social aspects. Without any one of these legs, the stool collapses.

When members of the Howard County (Ind.) Master Gardener Association became enchanted by the idea of creating a local butterfly habitat, their first stop was Kokomo--Howard County Public Library (KHCPL). Not for books and information but to get the project off---and into---the ground.

Some books make us sad because trees had to die for them. It would have been better if they had been published as e-books. But are digital books really better for the environment than printed ones? This question cannot be answered easily. To begin with: Used printed books, such as library books, score well from an ecological point of view.

The author discusses the impact that global warming and climate change is having on libraries. He offers suggestions for libraries, including providing access to global warming research through public programming, making library buildings less reliant on fossil fuels, and printing resources on apocalyptic survival skills. The author also looks at the American Library Association (ALA) contributions to environmental awareness.

In 2019, Batesville (Ind.) Intermediate School began a book club using selections inspired by the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the organization's blueprint for addressing global challenges like poverty and climate change by 2030. Batesville's students use lessons they glean from the club to engage with their community and the world, earning the school the American Library Association's 2020 Sara Jaffarian School Library Program Award for Excellence in Humanities Programming.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day---and recognize the American Library Association adding sustainability as a core value---American Libraries returns with its ongoing sustainability series. In these posts, information professionals share their experiences with sustainability in libraries. In spring 2018, University of Central Florida (UCF) Libraries staff members were exploring ways to expand programming beyond the classroom. Earth Day gave us the perfect opportunity to devise a program that promoted campus sustainability practices and expanded our network of partners.

Purpose. The paper deals with the Croatian ``Green libraries'', discussing the meaning of the library programs and services focused on educating users about sustainable development of society and importance of environmental protection as well as learning life-improving skills that affect not only individuals but the whole society. The goal of the article is to offer an insight into the range of ideas and possibilities that Croatian libraries have accomplished so far in their efforts to effectively connect librarianship and ecology. Methodology. The examples are presented chronologically beginning with the year 2011, when the Association of Istria Librarians started the ``Green library'' project, within which many green library programs were initiated and have been carried out ever since in different types of libraries throughout Croatia. The discussed examples of green libraries were selected by certain criteria: they were presented at professional conferences, described in published articles, or there were information about them on the libraries' web pages. Findings. The accomplishments of the Croatian ``Green libraries'' prove that libraries conduct a wide array of activities as part of the program. The cooperation between libraries and different institutions, associations, and individuals that deal with sustainable development, fauna and fl ora preservation, and environmental protection is particularly important. Many of these programs have been initiated through s direct cooperation between libraries and local communities, proving the importance of recognizing and taking into account library users' demands. Social implications. In its ``Statement on Libraries and Development'' (2013), IFLA invited policy and decision makers to recognize libraries as reliable institutions carrying out programs which contribute signifi cantly to solving sustainability issues concerning the entire community. Originality. The article offers the fi rst overview of the previous Croatian practices and experiences with ``Green libraries'', which can serve as guidelines and motivate other librarians in their future work.

“Green Literacy”. Professional skills, competencies and goals of managing the Green Library. A HungarianpPerspective. Conference of the Association of Hungarian Librarians March 14th 2018 at the National Széchényi Library. Abstract: A könyvtárak nem vákuumban léteznek, hanem aktív szerepet játszanak a társadalomban. Amióta beköszöntött a zöld könyvtári mozgalom, a könyvtárak elkötelezettsége a fenntarthatóság iránt egyre inkább láthatóvá vált. A könyvtárak pozitív képüket arra használhatják fel, hogy példát mutassanak különböző szolgáltatási stratégiáikkal. Az információs jártasság tanítása terén a könyvtárak már igen sok feladatot vállaltak. Azonban fontos információszolgáltatókként ennél jóval többel kell foglalkozniuk, feladatuk lett a zöld írástudás tanítása is, a drámai klímaváltozásra és a növekvő ökológiai tudatosságra reagálva. A kérdés a következő: Hogyan kellene a magyar könyvtárosokat megfelelően megtanítani a zöld írástudásra? A tanulmány azokkal a megfontolásokkal, forrásokkal és jó gyakorlatból vett példákkal foglalkozik, amelyek szükségesek egy olyan zöld könyvtár megvalósításához, amely megfelel napjaink sürgős kihívásainak.
