Libraries have long been about reducing, reusing, recycling. It\u2019s kind of their whole thing\u2026 but these days, books are just the beginning of the story at Suffolk Community Libraries.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re implementing all sorts of systems in our libraries to make them greener, and our carbon footprint smaller. So, in honour of <strong>Green Libraries Week<\/strong> (27 October &#8211; 2 November), we\u2019re breaking down the 10 ways libraries are saving the environment, and how, you, a library user, are too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The home of borrowers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By its very nature, the library service is all about \u2018recycling\u2019 books. In the last year, our most borrowed book, perhaps unsurprisingly, was Richard Osman\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3522793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>We Solve Murders<\/em><\/a>, which was taken out and returned almost 1,000 times. Across our stock we have 108 copies of the popular mystery book. Just think how many individual copies of books are saved from being bought each year in favour of borrowing them from the library instead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community gardens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few of our libraries across Suffolk are lucky enough to have their very own community gardens. Stowmarket Library\u2019s vibrant garden area has wildlife friendly plants, bird boxes and a few bug hotels! Kessingland Library have even opened a community fridge stocked up with the fresh produce from their garden, to help reduce waste and support their community.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Biodegradable library cards!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We said goodbye to plastic library cards back in 2022 and haven\u2019t looked back since. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/join\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new cards<\/a> are 100% biodegradable but made from fibre board. So don\u2019t worry, they\u2019re still sturdy enough to live at the bottom of your bag!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recycling points in libraries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many of our libraries have unique recycling points, often set up by individual staff members who have identified a specific need in their local area. Woodbridge library, for example, recycle pens and batteries, and even let you drop off old broken watches and jewellery that they find ways to recycle or repurpose. So next time you\u2019re at <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/libraries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your local library<\/a>, have a look around if you can see any unique recycling points you haven\u2019t noticed before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Environmentalist in Residence Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/programmes\/creative-communities\/\">arts programme<\/a>, powered by Arts Council England funding, is committed to bringing creativity to local communities in Suffolk in new and exciting ways that reinvents how people think about the library service. Just one environmental initiative our arts team have launched is the <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/programmes\/creative-communities\/residencies\/environmentalist-in-residence\/\">Environmentalist in Residence<\/a> programme, which invites established environmentalists to share their expertise, inspiration and love for our planet with library patrons of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>Our most recent resident was field recordist and teacher, Martin Scaiff, whose work encourages people to become active environmental listeners for the benefit of their creativity, education, and health.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAs part of my residency, I have been sound walking between every Suffolk library for the Seconds of Sound (S.O.S project). On these walks, I recorded and live streamed the acoustic habitats I travelled through, inviting others to walk with me (either in person or remotely), and delivering active environmental listening activities however, whenever, and wherever, I can. After each walk, I have brought the sounds I have recorded together into a collection that will become part of [the] libraries\u2019 lending stock.\u201d<\/em> &#8211; Martin<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-loved goodness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We love finding new homes for old stuff. Just plain throwing things away has never really sit right with us. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll often find us on the quest to rehome or repurpose something that might otherwise go to waste, for example, a loved-in book, that\u2019s been discarded from our catalogue, being sold to raise a little extra money for your local library.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric charging points<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From Needham Market to Saxmundham, our libraries are quickly becoming a hot spot for charging electric-powered vehicles. So next time you need to charge up, why not take out a library book while you wait? Check out if <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/libraries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your local library<\/a> has a chargepoint.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainable (and free!) art workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our free <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/children-and-teens\/the-blank-page-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creative workshops<\/a> for 10\u201316-year-olds in Suffolk offer high quality art tutorials. Many of which have an environmental focus. Just this summer, we had textile maker and former Suffolk Community Libraires Environmentalist in Residence, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/programmes\/creative-communities\/residencies\/environmentalist-in-residence\/clare-sams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clare Sams<\/a>, teach a range of weaving techniques using recycled newspapers and magazines, as well as a host of paper-making classes using natural materials like leaves and seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Creative workshops will return this December!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>We love paper, like really love paper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Behind every well-maintained front desk in every library is a mountain (or five) of scrap paper. If you\u2019ve ever reserved a book in one of our libraries, you\u2019ll be only too familiar with seeing your name poking out of a book on a paper reservation slip. Our librarians are constantly finding new and innovative ways to make old paper new again. Lend a closer eye next time you go pick up a reservation, we bet your paper slip will take on at least five new forms before you\u2019ve reached the second chapter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wild Reads.. it\u2019s here!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Autumn marks an exciting time for us here at Suffolk Community Libraries because, along with its changing leaves, it brings <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/programmes\/wild-reads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wild Reads<\/a>, a partnership project with Suffolk Wildlife Trust that celebrates the beauty of the natural world through the power of the written word.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re catching one of Scratchworks Theatre&#8217;s fung-tastic library performances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scratchworkstheatre.com\/on-tour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Mushroom Show<\/a>, or just fancy curling up with our curated <a
