Other Library Initiatives
Here at the library, we strive to be good stewards of the Earth year-round with initiatives such as Second Chance composting (registration required), Terracycle Zero Waste Boxes, community garden beds , a seed library and the Sustainabili-Reads Book Group, all of which are free and open to the public. And take a look at our Fast Fashion blog! Also at the library we have a pollinator-friendly garden, solar panels, heat pumps, reusable coffee mugs and a water-bottle filling station. This Spring, we are celebrating birds and bird migration through the grant-supported Flight Path program.
Sustainability Committee
The Milne Public Library also formed a sustainability committee last year to address environmental sustainability both in the library and in our community. See see our Sustainability page for more details, including our commitment statement. Please email kwilliams@cwmars.org if you'd like to get involved!
Last September we held our first Community Eco-Fair, and we will be hosting it again this year on Saturday, September 19th! (We will soon be asking for community participation in the form of tabling, food providers, and volunteers.. stay tuned!).
