Abstract
How do academic libraries fit into the complicated, unfolding story of our planet’s future? Examples of best practices for thriving and regenerating include providing climate change resources and education, advocating for open access information, modeling green values, creating programs that center on respectful dialogue and deliberation, offering open space for reflection, and serving as resiliency hubs for disaster response, including medical supplies, warming/cooling stations, and electronic device charging.
