An Introduction to the Sustainable Library Certification Program

Date: Thursday, March 7th at 10:00am

During this webinar, you will learn more about the certification program and hear from a panel of speakers from libraries that have completed the Sustainable Library Certification Program (SLCP). Our panelists will discuss the different experiences they had while in the program, the things they enjoyed doing, the hardest parts for them, and what they did after being certified.

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.
 

You should be receiving the monthly SLI newsletter already and you are encouraged to check out the final presentations of libraries and librarians who have completed the Sustainable Library Certification Program. You can learn a lot from your peers just by checking out their stories which can be found here, libraries that have finished have their presentations linked to their names on this page.
