Read and Returnnd Renew - Going Green @ the Library
Borrowing books, CDs, movies and papers is a great way to save money. Borrowing items from the library could also help protect the environment in a big way. You can save a lot of resources by reusing items instead of purchasing them. By reusing books, services, and other items at a library, you can save energy, water, trees and metals, etc. thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Be a regular visitor at the Arlington Public Library, find what you want and need, all the while reducing your eco-footprint.
