Abstract
In this chapter we will explore how libraries can lead the way to a bold new way of thinking that creates an inhabitable world centered on our well-being which supports the principles of doughnut economics. Our hope is that libraries can help break our culture from an addiction to growth and “business as usual” and transition it to be in service to humanity in a way that is regenerative and distributive by design.
