The document discusses making the upcoming South Carolina Library Association conference more environmentally friendly or "green". It provides examples of how libraries have always promoted reuse and shared access of materials. It then lists possible session topics, speakers, and strategies that could be implemented at the conference to minimize environmental impact, such as using recycled materials, promoting local/organic food options, and highlighting vendors with green products.

2. Thinking about “green” got me thinking about saving trees… which got me thinking about books, paper & pulp … which got me thinking about libraries and all millions of books that circulate from our collections in our communities each year… and then I realized … ... Libraries in a huge way have always been “green.” In fact, our collections and borrowing practices not only emphasize “re-use”, they were literally built upon the principle - i.e. shared access for all. So if you're thinking about green, it seems only natural to think about libraries. I mean why not ? Helene Blowers in her Blog
