Abstract:

The article discussed about the greening of the library. It enumerates some tips on how to do it.

3 Things I Learned:

1. We can use natural light and solar energy as an option to save energy though that is too far from reality for our country as of today because it is too expensive.
2. We can donate used books that we no longer using, in that way we can eliminate possible trash if we would just throw it.
3. We can use recycled materials in our office.

Implications:

At first when I heard about greening of the library, I thought it is just merely putting green plants inside our library but I was all wrong when I read this article. When we say the library goes green, it is like saying save our Mother Earth. Actually some of the tips mentioned on the article were already being practice in our library. It is just that we don’t actually know that we are doing it already. At least now we know and we will keep practicing it.
