Help us green-up our libraries!

We're so excited to be once again partnering with the Mono County Library System on a project funded by the California Sustainable Libraries grant!

We will be hosting events focused on sustainability and adding useful resources into the Library-of-Things.  

As part of our work, we are asking the community for input...   Are there resources you'd like to be able to check out from your local library? Is there a sustainability topic you're excited to learn more about?

Tell us what you think in this short survey!
