Nowadays, living green and sustainable is not a choice anymore, but rather a necessity. In view of climate changes and many other social issues, how can a library live up its full potential and act agilely? Mr. Tim Schumann will share the topics including “Sustainability and Digital Society”, “Sustainable Librarianship”, “Relevant Networks & Best Practices from Germany, Europe and around the world”, “the Development of the City Library Pankow (Berlin) into a Green Library”, as well as “Libraries as Strong Protagonists in an Ecological Future”.
