Your Guide to Sustainable Library Use

Introduction

Welcome to the Parliament of Ghana Library's Green Guide. This guide provides practical tips and information on how we can all contribute to environmental sustainability through our library practices.

Energy Conservation

Turn It Off

Always turn off lights, computers, and other electronic devices when leaving study areas or when not in use.

Natural Light

Utilize natural light during the day by opening blinds and positioning workspaces near windows.

Paper Reduction

Print Wisely

Print only when necessary and always use double-sided printing. Set your default printer settings to double-sided to save paper.

Digital Alternatives

Use our e-resources and digital collections instead of printed materials whenever possible.

Waste Reduction

Recycling Stations

Use the clearly marked recycling bins throughout the library for paper, plastics, and other recyclables.

Bring Your Own

Bring your own reusable water bottle and coffee cup to reduce single-use plastics in the library.
