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. Learn about the Sustainable Libraries Initiative and certification program  and what your library has access to now that all NYLA members have a free membership to the SLI for the next year!
