When you think about the burgeoning growth of going "green" and the next step of going "local" the library works wonderfully in both cases. How much more green can you be than buying one item and loaning it out and having it used by 5-10 end users? In the field of books, movies, and information, we are a shining example of recycling.
In the arena of going local, we also shine in 2 manners. First, as local production holds the promise of less pollution due to less transport, we shine since because of our recycling model mentioned above (get one, 10 end users). Second, we back our local communities by providing access to services, products, education that allow us to reach to the outside world while still retaining our sense of place.
