Libraries must take an active, visible role in building sustainable, resilient and regenerative communities. Our future depends on it.

"Sustainable Thinking" is a concept that aligns the core values of libraries with the "Triple Bottom Line" definition of sustainability, to result in libraries that are:

· Sustainable: have the capacity to endure

· Resilient: can bounce back in the face of disruption

· Regenerative: bring new and energetic life to their communities 

Join us Friday, November 13 at the Simsbury Public Library for a special workshop with Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, Coordinator for Library Sustainability at the Mid-Hudson Library System in New York. We will explore how to infuse the core value of sustainability into everything we do, taking a "whole systems approach" to leading our libraries into the future and building our base of support among those we serve along the way.
