Hello All, We had a great first session for our sustainability discussion group with Vanessa Berry from Natural Resources Council of Maine speaking on waste reduction and Brenda Harrington from Belfast FL, sharing what her library is doing for community education programming and resource lists around climate change. Attendees chimed in with some of the sustainability activities they were doing such as going mylar-free at Readfield PL and working on Sustainable Library certification at York PL.
