On our daily tips, we suggested one of the greenest acts you can do is head to the library. So we were happy to receive an email from the Spokane Library regarding the “Green Spokane Sustainability Collection.”

To wit: “Located at the downtown library, the collection features books and DVDs with helpful information about everyday ways to conserve resources. In addition to big topics like wind power, solar power and energy security, you’ll find information you can use right now—how to make your home more eco-friendly, for instance, or simple ways to save energy in your daily life.”

The Green Spokane Sustainability Collection was sponsored by a grant from the Washington State Office of Community, Trade, & Economic Development (CTED). Susanne Croft, who served as the city of Spokane’s Sustainability Coordinator, authored the grant.

According to the email, the collection items are labeled “Green Spokane” and are housed on the library’s second floor and available for the same amount of time as regular items. Three weeks for books, one week for DVDs. We're excited... and promise to avoid late charges out of deference to other readers.
