Scotland’s Green Libraries Gathering

Category: #CILIPSGoGreen

For Scotland’s Climate Week 2023, we celebrated two years of our pioneering programme #CILIPSGoGreen with Scotland’s online Green Libraries Gathering, filled with inspiring opportunities for Green Champions in LIS to collaborate, connect and reflect on library-led environmental action.
