Introduction to the Sustainable Libraries Initiative - Recorded December 12, 2024
Presented by:
Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, Executive Director, Mid-Hudson Library System, President and Co-founder of the Sustainable Libraries Initiative
Matthew Bollerman, Chief Executive Officer, Hauppauge Public Library, Vice President and Co-founder of the Sustainable Libraries Initiative
The SLI was created thanks to a group of colleagues who wanted to help libraries step up and own their role as sustainability leaders in the face of the effects of climate change. We’ve developed tools, resources and methodologies that help library leaders be more authentic and focused in their decision making; resource use; service and program design; and partnerships to align with the triple bottom line of sustainability: environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic feasibility. Come and learn about this project and what your library can access now that you can opt-in to a free membership to the SLI for the next year as a member of your library association.
