Authors:Xiaoai Ren Abstract: This article reports on the findings from a survey of the Georgia Library Association (GLA) members on their attitudes toward providing environmental education services in libraries, and their perceptions of the role libraries should play in developing environmentally sustainable community. Information on the environmentally sustainable practices within libraries was also collected, along with the libraries' environmental education services. Most respondents agreed that it is vital to integrate environmentally sustainable practices into library operations and provide environmental education services. However, the study also identified a gap between librarians’ attitudes and the actual environmentally sustainable practices and environmental education services in their libraries due to the reported lack of money, time, and public interests, among some other factors. Findings from this study can inform the discussion on how to support libraries so they can undertake this critical endeavor. PubDate: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 12:45:32 PDT
