Welcome to Green Libraries, a website dedicated to documenting the greening of libraries in North America. This site contains a growing list of libraries that are constructing green buildings. It also contains a list of resources to help people make their libraries more green and sustainable. There are currently 39 green libraries listed in the directory web pages.

The newest addition to the website is the Cleveland Public Library’s Rice Branch.

For information about why libraries should go green, see Why Build Green? from the Rocky Mountain Institute and also Why Build Green? from the U.S.

Green libraries are a part of the larger green building movement. Also known as sustainable libraries, green libraries are being built all over the world^{[citation needed]}, with many high profile projects bringing the concept into the mainstream. Along with library 2.0, green design is an emerging trend, defining the library of the 21st century. Many view the library as having a unique role in the green building movement due to itsaltruistic mission, public and pedagogical nature, and the fact that new libraries are usually high profile, community driven projects.
