In the first installment of the Library’s Earth Month blog series, we shared some of the ways the library can help you to reduce your consumption. This week, we’d like to highlight some of our print and digital resources that can educate, inspire, motivate, and entertain you on a myriad of environmental topics.
For the book lovers out there, check out this great guide on green reads, found HERE. It’s updated throughout the year to highlight some newer and older books in our collection as well as other helpful links to podcasts, blogs, and more. If you’re interested in an environmental topic not shown in the guide, swing by the Reference desk on the second floor and we’ll see what we can find for you.
As always, if you need any help in accessing any of our resources – books, magazines, streaming services – please don’t hesitate to ask. We LOVE to help!
