Who, What, and Why January 3, 2008

As John Muir wrote “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” The inspirational quote has long guided me in life knowing that my actions - or lack of action - has a profound affect on the world. My other passion is librarianship –freedom and access to all information, ideas, and resources for people everywhere. My goal is to connect these two important aspects of my life and myself as a human being living (temporarily) on this Earth. I am a regular blog reader and contribute post/comments to several blogs but until now, hadn’t found the need to create one of my own. The excitement of finally seeing “green” practices making national, main stream news has encouraged me to create a Greening Your Library Blog. This blog will list ideas, practices, tools, and techniques to help libraries become more environmentally friendly, which can also save money or even raise money for the library in the process. So here’s to a greener library and a greener future for all.
