Kinderhook Memorial Library has been certified sustainable through the Sustainable Library Certification Program. While on their journey, Kinderhook completed a wide array of remarkable accomplishments during their pursuance of certification.

The Sustainable Libraries Initiative (SLI) is excited to be collaborating with four different State Library Associations (ILA, MLA, NJLA, NYLA) on a new partnership that provides a one year free membership to the SLI to all members of one of our four affiliated state library associations. In addition a 20% discount on the registration fee for any affiliated state library member who decides to enroll in the Sustainable Library Certification Program.

The SLI congratulates Laura Silver, the first NYC Public School Librarian to achieve certification through the Sustainable Library Certification Program!
