Beyond Books: Cultivating Cultural Change and Inspiring Climate Action
Finalist, Creating Impact
About
TAFE NSW has successfully launched a pilot program for Library Sustainability Hubs at eight campuses to create engagement and action towards our TAFE NSW Sustainability Strategy. The project was designed to leverage the central and trusted role our libraries play within our Campus community. Serving as places for community and collaboration, the Hubs champion knowledge sharing, and are accessible entry points uniting TAFE NSW campuses, driving towards meaningful change.
Embodying our values and culture in action, the Hubs are designed to educate, engage, and empower our people, providing a central space to promote key environmental themes such as recycling, the circular economy and sustainable living. By tailoring the activities to staff, students and the community’s local interests, library services staff have delivered engaging activities and resources like sharing plant splices, recycling stations, and promoting Sustainability themed events. Engagement across the pilot sites from teachers, students and community has exceeded expectations.
