How-To-Go Green @ the Topsfield Town Library

The Topsfield Town Library and EBSCO Publishing of Ipswich, Massachusetts have joined forces to promote environmental awareness.  EBSCO Publishing has been a partner with regional libraries for many years providing valued databases for patron use.  In addition, the Topsfield Town Library works with EBSCO to support the Library’s periodical collection and, recently, has received additional complimentary databases for patron use.  Now, we are working together to empower citizens with knowledge and know-how in making simple lifestyle changes that can make a difference in our environment.

Starting Monday, June 2, 2008 and through the month of June, the Library will have on display material that contains a variety of information on ”Going Green”.  Displays located throughout the Library will have items for patrons to checkout.  We encourage patrons to visit the Adult and YA non-fiction collection located on the second floor and receive a free reusable shopping bag compliments of EBSCO Publishing Company.  To receive your bag, please check in at the Reference Desk on the second floor.  Staff will be giving one bag per household to Topsfield residents during the month of June.

The Library is thrilled to have this opportunity made available to us by the EBSCO Publishing Company to promote the Library’s “Go Green” efforts.  Not only is the Library developing a collection that will be a valued resource for the community, but also we are making internal changes.  A mini recycling center has been setup in the Library’s basement for paper, cardboard, glass and plastic.  In addition, the Library uses recycled bathroom paper products and environmentally friendly cleaning products.  Changing technology components to more efficient monitors and discovering how to program our technology to shutdown at night after vital upgrades and virus scanning are complete is working well.  The Library promotes water conservation with our own rain-barrel for watering outside plantings.  Information on purchasing rain-barrels is available in the Library.

The entire staff encourages patrons to visit the Library’s displays and learn more about what you can do to make easy changes at home.  Come by the Library starting Monday, June 2^nd for a free reusable shopping bag compliments of EBSCO Publishing Company.
