What can you do with your existing building to either become a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building or just a ‘green’ building? Can you change the way you work or the supplies you use? Can you lead your community by example? Attend this preconference program, at PLA 2010 to hear from LEED certified experts and librarians who are working green.

Participants will learn:

*the ins and outs of LEED certification;
*techniques that can be used to operate routine library services, like the circulation desk, in a green manner;
*methods for partnering to promote and implement a greener way of life throughout the community.

This preconference will be held Tuesday, March 23, 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and continues on Wednesday, March 24, 8:30 a.m. – Noon.
