Green Library Blog

Check out Gerry McKiernan’s new Green Library Blog if you are interested in sustainable development or planning new library buildings.

The Green Library blog is devoted to documenting significant activities, events, literature, and projects that focus on ” … increasing the efficiency with which buildings use resources — energy, water, and materials — while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building’s lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal” of and by libraries.

Although not strictly legal resources, the material is clear, useful, nicely organized — including selected bibliographies — and free.
