The Sustainable Libraries Initiative (SLI) is excited to be collaborating with the New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) at their upcoming conference to provide a series of events. The SLI is a leading organization that supports libraries as they tackle one of the biggest challenges of our time: climate change. This year's NJLA conference offers several opportunities to learn from and engage with the SLI and its co-founders, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich and Matthew Bollerman. 

On Thursday, May 4th from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT, Join Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, Co-Founder of the Sustainable Libraries Initiative, to explore the challenges and opportunities for libraries in the face of climate change and hear how many in our field are already answering the call for leadership on sustainability.

Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, Maine has earned this historic designation and the SLI could not be prouder to share the amazing work they are doing.
