Green Libraries Week is between 7-13 October 2024

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Green Libraries Week is between 7-13 October 2024, coordinated through CILIP (Chartered Institute of Library Information Professionals) and designed to celebrate how libraries pay a role in supporting climate and sustainability. The 2024 focus is on lifelong learning for all ages and how there is always something new for us to learn, change and adapt to, however small it may seem.

Here are just a few of the ways libraries are celebrating. Contact the individual library to find out more: https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/libraries/find-library
