Sustainability is now a core value of the profession but what does that actually mean? Get in on the ground floor of one of the most important issues facing our local and global communities. From getting a better understanding of basic concepts such as “sustainable thinking” and the “triple bottom line” of sustainability to practical, applicable ideas you can implement as soon as you get back to your library, this session will help prepare you to become a leader on the topic of sustainability in your library and for your community. If not you, then who?
