Sustainability

To be truly sustainable, an organization must embody practices that are environmentally sound AND economically feasible AND socially equitable

Sustainability @LPL

Sustainability in Libraries includes programs and events which accurately share three pillars of Sustainability - Environment, Economy, Society - in addition to our Core Values of Librarianship.

The program planners at LPL invite you to participate in our sustainable efforts by attending one of our events. Our events include lectures on historical and political figures - those instrumental in fighting for social justice and positive climate change - to community interest topics, such as healthy living and learning more about other countries and cultures.

Core Values of Librarianship

The foundation of modern librarianship rests on an essential set of core values that define, inform, and guide our professional practice. These values reflect the history and ongoing development of the profession and have been advanced, expanded, and refined by numerous policy statements of the American Library Association.
