The Yocum Library and the Environment

How does Yocum Library help the Environment?

Recycling items;
  1. Borrowing books, DVDs means multiple users for one item.
  2. The library puts out items for "Free to a good home."
  3. The library reuses paper for scrap paper and recycle bottles and cardboard boxes.

Computers;
  1. The library uses a print management system to reduce waste.
  2. The library uses websites for information rather than paper handouts.
  3. The library uses databases rather than print magazines/books.
  4. The library has ebooks available .
  5. Turning off some computers when not in use.
  6. Turn off computers every night.

The building;
  1. We have steps for each floor, except 3 rd to 4th.
  2. The library pulls down the blinds on sunny days.
