Tune in to hear about LA City Public Libary's success engaging community participation in response to the global climate crisis.

We'll also get the latest from IFLA’s Environment, Sustainability and Libraries Section (ENSULIB) whose aim is to "encourage librarians to inspire their communities into more environmentally sustainable way of action, by providing materials on green librarianship, giving voice to green librarians and library projects worldwide, leading by example, and offering a discussion forum."
