  • 1.  Save the Date: ROOTS Sustainability Summit

    Posted May 26, 2025 09:00 AM

    SAVE THE DATE! Join SustainRT and partners for a FREE virtual event, titled ROOTS Library Leadership Summit (Re-imagining Organizational Operations Toward Sustainability), on August 6th, 2025, 1-4 pm ET!

    The purpose of the event is to connect and coordinate with other organizations, groups, and task forces worldwide who work to promote sustainability in libraries. Our goal is to connect, share resources, identify points of collaboration, and celebrate wins – as well as break down the silos of this work we are all doing in libraries for our communities!

    Our keynote speaker, Dr. Sarah Jaquette Ray, Director of the Environmental Studies Department, Cal Poly Humboldt, will share about the power of collective action to combat negative climate-related emotions.

    This is the first event of its kind, but we hope to organize this summit every 4-5 years to connect and align our work.

    Stay tuned for more details and registration information! We hope you can join us!

    Aja - This looks fantastic! I'm going to share this with all our library staff.  Will it be recorded? Lots of desk staff who can't get away who might be interested and/or vacation season. Thanks to SustainRT leadership for bringing this to us!

    Hi Julie, 

    Yes! Most of the event will be recorded and we would love it if you wanted to spread the word to your colleagues, even if they can't make it to the live event!
