Did you know that all new library members receive a biodegradable eco card? If you already have an older card, please keep using it to reduce waste. Our eco cards are just one way your library helps you to be sustainable 💚 #GreenLibrariesWeek @SurreyLibraries @librariesweek

It was a pleasure to meet Larissa (8) today - winner of our sustainable library card competition, to award her with £25 Waterstones vouchers. What a great way to end Green @librariesweek Find out more: hla.oldham.gov.uk/about/sustaina…

Environmental sustainability and supporting our communities with information is really important to us at #Explore so it’s been great to share and focus on #GreenLibrariesWeek! After all there’s nothing greener than a library! #HereForYou @librariesweek

A huge THANKS to @AshBhardwaj for a really interesting talk about the reasons why we travel and how we could do it better, at Central Library last night. It was both fun and engaging. @kibworthbooks #GreenLibrariesWeek @librariesweek

One square metre of our roof’s surface area will neutralise approximately 1.75kg of CO₂. Next time you’re here for an all-dayer, think of the hard work that’s also going on above your heads @cardiffuni! #greenlibrariesweek (4/4)

The new roof serves as a carbon savings and rainwater neutralising system, surfaced with a mineral granule which causes a chemical reaction to the CO₂ in rainwater, converting it to harmless silicon dioxide (SiO₂ i.e. sand), magnesium carbonate (inorganic salt) and water (3/4)
