Each Choice Tells Our Story

摘要

I've been working hard to ensure libraries understand that sustainability involves far more than "going green." Embracing the Triple Bottom Line definition of sustainability helps libraries think holistically about the environmental, economic, and social aspects of.their library and community. Nonetheless, libraries have a lot of work to do on the "going green" side of things. Libraries are steeped in work that speaks to their economic viability and that of their communities. Our professional ethics are rooted in the creation, promotion, and preservation of socially equitable access for and treatment of those we serve. Both of these are part of the everyday work of simply being a library. Is there a constant need for vigilance on these fronts? Absolutely.
