Introduction to the Sustainable Library Certification Program

September 23, 2026
3:30 - 4:30 PM

The Sustainable Libraries Initiative (SLI) was created by a group of colleagues who wanted to help libraries step up in the face of climate change and own their role as sustainability leaders. Learn more about our tools and resources that help libraries make more conscious decisions, develop partnerships, and build the triple bottom line of sustainability into library culture: environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic feasibility.

During this webinar, you will learn about the Sustainable Library Certification Program. A panel of speakers whose libraries completed the SLCP will describe their journey and share their library's experiences.
