🌿 It's !

Organised by CILIP, the Library and Information association, Green Libraries Week runs from 21 to 28 October and focuses on the role of libraries caring for nature and promoting sustainability an understanding of the importance of or protecting the natural world.

Libraries have long been about reducing, reusing, recycling. But these days, books are just the beginning of the story at Suffolk Community Libraries. Here are a few ways libraries are saving the world:

• Recycling books - by its very nature, libraries are the ultimate sustainable reading practice!
• Community gardens - some of our libraries have beautiful community garden spaces for everyone to enjoy
• Biodegradable library cards - we said goodbye to plastic library cards back in 2022, and haven't looked back since.

Autumn marks an exciting time for us here at Suffolk Community Libraries because, along with its changing leaves, it brings Wild Reads, a partnership project with Suffolk Wildlife Trust that celebrates the beauty of the natural world through the power of the written word.
