Ever wonder what steps DLS libraries are taking to go green? Visit the Libraries Going Green section of the DLS Here & Now blog to learn about the green features of the Addison Public Library, the libraries with recycling stations, and information on how one library recycles more than 30 tons of paper each year! You'll also learn how to save printer ink by selectively printing from websites as well as information about the new Ecofont.
What are the libraries in neighboring library systems doing on the green front? This article from the Metropolitan Library System illustrates what other libraries are doing to go green. It includes information on Crete Public Library District's Green Tips Tree, located in the library's lobby. Patrons are encouraged to contribute ideas for reducing, recycling, and reusing.Tips are rewarded with a Libraries-the Original Recyclers tote bag. You can also learn how one library's energy audit recommended more than $20,000 savings annually by energy efficient lighting upgrades.
