Author(s): Dr. Archana Sandesh Kulkarni (Vanikar)
Abstract - The 'green concept' is widely discussed in the field of basic library professions and other fields of serious environmental problems faced by mankind. The library is ubiquitous and useful. Libraries play a role in this universal program. Libraries are life learning platforms and they provide information and knowledge. Environmental challenges such as energy reduction and global climate change influence the ranking of data resources and program libraries provided to their users. The green library movement began in the early 1990s as libraries became increasingly interested in environmental issues. The green library movement led to the development of literature on green libraries and consequently increased awareness of the topic.
Today's society and the world as a whole are becoming sensitive towards the environment. The paper highlights the concept of green library, standards, features and components of green library. The report also describes green library initiatives in India and the role of green librarians.
Keywords - Green Library, Green Library Elements, Green Library Standards, Sustainability, Green Library Characteristics etc.
