Green Books



Hart House Library is holding an eco book drive from March 21 to 28, 2011. "What's an eco book drive?" you might ask...well, I'm glad you did! We are looking for donations (from you! and your friends! and your family! and your colleagues!) of environmentally-themed books to help round out and update the Hart House Library collection.

Since Hart House Library is mainly a browsing library, existing to provide casual pleasure reading for patrons, we are looking for current, stimulating, interesting books on all aspects of environmental living. This could include: books on sustainable living, alternative energy, farming & gardening, composting, eco-tourism, farmer's markets, eco-design, green politics...chances are, if you think it's an eco book, we will too. We are specifically looking for books published since 2000 and in good condition, but no textbooks please.

So go through your shelves at home, and see if you have any eco-themed books that you are prepared to part with and share with the world. For bonus points, send this information to your friends, family and co-workers. Bring your donations to the Hub (the main desk at Hart House) and deposit them in the donation box. With your help, we can create an excellent eco book collection at Hrat House Library!

The details:

Who: Hart House Library
What: Eco Book Drive
Where: Donation box at the Hub (main desk inside the West entrance at 7 Hart House Circle)
When: March 21-28, 2011, 7a.m.-11p.m.
Why: To help build our blooming collection!

Looking forward to perusing all those books. If you have any questions, please contact Val Stevens at val.stevens@utoronto.ca
