Earlier this week, a group of Weinberg Memorial Library staff and faculty members took a break from our regular Library work to brainstorm about what we could do to make our Library more sustainable.\u00a0 We came up with a lot of great ideas, from water bottle refill stations to cutting down on paper memos.\u00a0 And there are even a few things that we’ve already started doing – our Physical Plant staff uses green cleaning products to keep the Library neat and shiny, and we’ve begun a switch to more energy efficient lighting.<\/p>\n

At the end of the meeting, we formed the first ever Weinberg Memorial Library Green Team.\u00a0 Sixteen members of the Library staff and faculty volunteered to participate, and those members represent nine of the Library’s different departments: Administration, Archives, Cataloging, Circulation, Digital Services, Media, Reference, Serials & Acquisitions, and Systems.\u00a0 We also hope to have a representative from Student Government<\/a> join us.<\/p>\n

Throughout the next few months, the new Green Team will be starting to implement our ideas. Check back here at Infospot @WML for the latest news, and please comment if you have any suggestions for us!<\/p>\n
