W.E.D. Library Display

Submitted Mon, 2008-04-28 21:48 — ahazelwood

Just in time to promote The Bundaberg 2008 World Environment Day Celebration on June 1, SustainaBundy will have a display in the Bundaberg Library. From the 12th to the 22nd May, a collection of SustainaBundy's books, magazines and DVDs on peak oil, climate change, sustainability, self sufficiency, organic gardening and more will be on display in the library entryway along with World Environment Day posters and information.

Following World Environment Day, the contents of the display will become a part of the library collection, available for borrowing by anyone with a Bundaberg Library card. A list of the items will be available on the SustainaBundy website so borrowers can ask for them by name.

The books, magazines and DVDs are from the personal collections of SustainaBundy members - the materials will do much more good if they're available to the wider community instead of just the owners, and we're happy to be able to use them to promote WED before they go into the library's inventory!
