Stopped by the Vestavia Library yesterday. On their Featured Books shelf, close to the main counter, is a whole collection of “Green” books. I was pleased to see them out in front, instead of buried in their respective sections. The books hit on greening home and work, “How To” books for families, some philosophical books on why we should reduce our impacts, and even one on more environmentally-friendly lawn care.
“The End of Nature” by Bill McKibben was there, too. It may be a tough sell in that neighborhood.
All this is part of the continued messaging coming out of our future “Library in the Forest.” I’m glad they’re continuing to put these issues front and center in more and more places. Hopefully, residents will come to see environmental responsibility as less threatening and less “radical left fringe”, and come to understand it as something that we all benefit from, individually and collectively, and as a City.
