    Hello Sustain RT,

    I appreciate it if someone can collaborate with me to identify school librarians working in the area of sustainability.
    It'd be great to know about them for our work in the ALA IRC United Nations Subcommittee.
    You can email me directly too. 

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Loida!

    I happened to see your message - the Sustainable Libraries Initiative has a school librarian sustainability certification, and there are quite a few who have achieved certification so far! https://www.sustainablelibrariesinitiative.org/  You can email sliadmin@suffolknet.org (Alex and Sophia)  directly for more information.
