AT THE MONTAUK LIBRARY...

Continued from Page 17 gram has been recognized by the International Federa‐tion of Library Associations at their 2019 World Con‐gress in Athens, Greece, becoming the first program in the United States to be honored through their “Green Li‐braries” Award.

Comprehensive Approach: With categories of ac‐tions focusing on each of the three pillars of triple bottom line sustainability such as Energy, Indoor Spaces, Social Cohesion, and Resilience Planning, this comprehensive process leads a library toward institutional change that shifts the rationale for every decision to consider the local and global impacts. Through this program, libraries work with their communities to listen and learn, allow‐ing local needs to be identified and addressed. Strength‐ening the relationship between the library and the community they serve builds resilience through stronger connections with many organizations and increased ac‐cess to information. The path to certification through the Sustainable Libraries Certification Program is flexible for libraries of different types, sizes, and budgets and guided by the communities they serve. Each library that com‐pletes the program will select the benchmarks that best fit the needs of their library and community, resulting in a uniquely sustainable organization.

The Sustainable Libraries Initiative is a nationwide stove, large rear deck, ocean view front patio lounge, central air, oil cast iron heat, private landscape and detached 2.5 car garage with storage. The shy half acre parcel allows for expansion or a rebuilding of the existing structures, view enhancements and room for a pool.
