Question: The Green library movement: An overview of green library literature and actions from 1979 to the future of green libraries

Answer: The creation of green libraries is approaching a tipping point, generating a Green Library
Movement, which is comprised of librarians, libraries, cities, towns, college and university
campuses committed to greening libraries and reducing their environmental impact. Constructing
a green library building using a performance standard like LEED is a way some libraries are
choosing to become green and sustainable. Environmental challenges like energy depletion and
climate change will influence the type of information resources and programs libraries will provide
to their communities.
