Green Libraries Week 2025: Empowering Libraries to take Positive Environmental Action

Green Libraries Week 2025, led by CILIP, the library and information association, returns this autumn to celebrate the vital role of libraries in tackling the climate emergency and empowering communities to take positive environmental action.

Running from Monday 27 October to Sunday 2 November, the theme for this year’s national campaign is ‘Seeds of Change – Make a Difference with Your Library’. The spotlight for 2025 is on encouraging libraries at all stages in their sustainability journey to celebrate their climate action – no matter how big or small.

From public libraries on the high street to academic, specialist and health libraries, Green Libraries Week showcases inventive and inspiring activities across the UK. The initiative connects libraries in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, providing support for green initiatives and celebrating how libraries help people build the skills and confidence to take action at every stage of life.
