Greening Libraries research underpins Australian Libraries Sustainability

Commissioned by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), researchers from Charles Sturt University have published research that provides ‘a rich source of practical examples and inspiration’ for Australian Libraries to develop sustainability initiatives and programs.

The research is the first major publication in ALIA’s ongoing sustainability research towards supporting the UN SDGs.

The report, written by Dr Jane Garner, Dr Kasey Garrison, Dr Sarah Redshaw, Dr Sabine Wardle and Associate Professor Karen Bell, highlights examples of best practice and informs the creation of a toolkit for libraries to help them support environmental action. The report has been published publicly, in full by ALIA.
