Transform any public library into a truly sustainable
organization-not just environmentally sustainable, but economically
and socially sustainable as well-by following the directions and
practices described in this book. Sustainability in the context of
ensuring the long-term success of a public library involves more
than green initiatives and conserving resources: "sustainability"
for libraries also describes efforts to increase their
institutions' relevance to their communities as well as to make
their programs socially equitable and economically feasible-a
substantial challenge. This book is a powerful tool that public
librarians, library directors, and library managers can use to
create a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) sustainable library, to lead
sustainability initiatives in their community, and to identify and
adjust their current practices that are considered sustainable to
improve performance. The chapters focus on the elements of library
sustainability separately, first addressing economic and
environmental sustainability before examining the aspects of
internal (workforce) and external (community-facing) social
sustainability. The author presents numerous case studies
throughout the book that enable readers to better understand how
the sustainability principles described play out in the real world.
Offers theory and practical advice on implementing a sustainability
program from a recognized expert in management and sustainability
in the library environment Presents step-by-step instructions for
creating a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) sustainable public library
Addresses a highly relevant and timely topic with librarians and
library administrators
