Aiming for a Green Library Association
How can the Zagreb Library Association promote green ideas to its members and the public without straying from its primary mission as a regional library association? How can the Zagreb Library Association position itself as a leader in promoting green ideas among other libraries and library associations in Croatia?
What do we need?
The proposed solution should involve some form of social media engagement, utilize the different work groups within the Zagreb Library Association, and include activities that will spark public involvement. Students are encouraged to draw inspiration from other green projects, but they may not copy/paste existing projects.
More information:
The Zagreb Library Association has at its disposal a strong social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok profiles), newsletters, and a functional website.
