Green Libraries

The project is aimed at supporting networks and strengthening exchange of experience and ideas between library experts on such topics as sustainability of libraries and libraries’ contribution to raising awareness about environmental challenges in local communities.

In 2021, the project was launched with an online kick-off meeting at which five libraries from St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region and five libraries from Nordic countries presented their activities aimed at promoting green values. A network of Nordic-Russian libraries took shape with a clear willingness to and interest in sharing the wealth of their experiences, exchanging ideas, and providing inspiration for the enrichment of their projects and integration of the eco agenda into a wider approach of sustainable development.

Project partners are from Finland, Sweden, Norway, St. Petersburg, Leningrad region with Aarhus Public Libraries from Denmark.

The project is supported by Nordic Culture Fund.
