American Libraries

Wanda Urbanska's complete Auditorium Speaker Series presentation at the 2009 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago. Urbanska discussed the "disease" of overconsumption and the idea of simplicity as a lifestyle, and offered suggestions for how to incorporate these ideas into libraries--and help the environment at the same time. The presentation includes a brief question-and-answer segment, which evolved into discussion on how to advocate for environmentally friendly options to administrators who are charged with focusing on the bottom line. Transcript to come.
