Libraries Week is an annual showcase of all the things libraries have to offer. This year we are celebrating the work going on in libraries across the UK focused on sustainability and climate change. Here are some of the ways our libraries are going greener... #GreenLibrariesWeek

A library book is read, returned, recirculated and reread multiple times - can’t say greener than that! 📚 #GreenLibrariesWeek #ToonLibraries

It's the beginning of Libraries Week! This week we're celebrating the work of libraries across the UK, focussing on sustainability and climate change. Pop in and check out our plant & seed swap, toy swap, vinyl & CD swap! #GreenLibrariesWeek #LibrariesWeek #vinylswap #plantswap

National Poetry Day #GreenLibrariesWeek

During #GreenLibrariesWeek , I wanted to do a How It Started, How It's Going post. Pic 1 is from a newspaper article about a #library short story competition I had won. Winning sparked the idea that I could be a writer. 30 years later is Pic 2.

Libraries are wonderful places!

Libraries are empathy hubs and forces for change in their communities!

This week is #GreenLibrariesWeek – why not check these #ReadForEmpathy books out of your local library? Wonderful reads that encourage readers to have empathy for their environment 🌳

Watch Kirsten MacQuarrie MCLIP expand her British Sign Language knowledge to include carbon literacy!

I think we can consider this #EcoPoetry with a call to action!

What does this mean? We are appreciating the work Libraries do to promote sustainability and minimize climate change. Eg, by transitioning to zero plastic (waterfountain map here: google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…)

Today is the first day of #GreenLibrariesWeek and we thought we’d show you around Fenham Library’s garden 🪴🍃 Fenham’s garden was an area where people would fly tip - it was cleaned up thanks to the Small Green Library Project! CILIP North East CILIP 🌱

For #GreenLibrariesWeek , this is a page from 'The Natural History of Bees' by René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur.

This book is from our library collection and was hailed as the first truly scientific study of the natural history of bees.

HERE. WE. GO! 💚😆 #GreenLibrariesWeek is ON! Don't forget to tag us & share your posts as your events go on through the week. We can't wait to see pictures from all the #green fun!

According to Cicero 'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need'.
#DYK we are next to a zoological garden i.e. London Zoo, a ZSL conservation zoo? ZSL's #Library and #Archives Team try to visit each lunchtime! #GreenLibrariesWeek

Celebrating #NationalPoetryDay and #GreenLibrariesWeek seemed like a great time to recite one of my favourite poems! 🌬️

Winter by Edwin Morgan, always seems so fitting when we’re moving into the colder months. ❄️🩵
