Colleagues/
Since launching The Green Library blog nearly a month ago I have added a
number of significant news items which I believe/hope will be of
interest:
The Green Library blog is devoted to documenting significant activities,
events, literature, and projects that focus on " ... increasing the
efficiency with which buildings use resources - energy, water, and
materials - while reducing building impacts on human health and the
environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting,
design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal" of and by
libraries.
