Libraries Resources
Green Libraries
The Green Libraries Campaign is a UK-wide, cross-sector programme focused on the contribution of librarians, information and knowledge professionals to the sustainability agenda. It aims to encourage libraries to actively reduce their carbon footprint and increase awareness of environmental issues for the wider public by providing accessible resources.
The Green Libraries Partnership was developed in response to COP26 and the long-term climate commitments made by local authorities across England.
Our vision is of a better future for planet and people, empowered and supported by librarians and library workers
Our mission is to place libraries at the heart of environmental change
Our purpose is to enable libraries to build environmental action within their communities
The programme is delivered by CILIP with support from Arts Council England, the British Library, Libraries Connected, Julie’s Bicycle, SCONUL, the Sustainaility in NHS and Library Services Community of Practice, RLUK, CONUL and The National Library of Scotland. The Partnership is Chaired by Maja Maricevic, Director of Science and Innovation at The British Library.
