Abstract

Posljedice klimatskih promjena, najvećim dijelom uzrokovane ljudskom djelatnošću, potaknule su razvoj ekološke svijesti s ciljem očuvanja planete. Knjižnica, u skladu s IFLAinom Izjavom o knjižnicama i razvitku prepoznata je kao kulturno i informacijsko središte, pa je razmišljanje o klimatskim promjenama omogućilo pokretanje zelenih knjižnica. O zelenoj se knjižnici govori kao održivoj zgradi u sklopu različitih održivih praksi, ali je zelena knjižnica i koncept programa, usluga i zbirki koje knjižnica priprema za korisnike. Zelena knjižnica potiče zeleno korisničko ponašanje, stoga su knjižnice usmjerene na zeleno opismenjavanje. Cilj je rada prikazati što knjižnice čine kao zagovaratelji održivih ideja i prikazati djelovanja koja su u skladu s konceptom održivoga razvoja. Središnji dio rada prikazuje nastanak zelene ideje u knjižničnoj praksi. Pokretač razvoja zelenih knjižničnih programa u Hrvatskoj je osnivanje Radne grupe za zelene knjižnice te se od tada, u skladu sa svjetskim trendovima, počinju provoditi aktivnosti u nastojanju da ekološke teme budu što dostupnije korisnicima, a knjižničari ih, ovisno o vrsti knjižnice, tematski povezuju s lokalnom problematikom. Zadnji dio rada usmjeren je na praksu hrvatskih knjižnica u zelenom opismenjavanju korisnika prikazom knjižničnih aktivnosti kao što su razni projekti, edukacije i radionice.

Abstract (english)

Results of climate change, mostly caused by human activity, have stimulated the development of ecological thinking with the aim of preserving the planet. A library, in accordance with “IFLA’s statement on libraries and development”, is acknowledged as cultural and informational hub, thus the consideration of climate change made establishing green libraries possible. The green library is seen as a sustainable building within different sustainable practices, but the green library is also a concept of activities, services, collections and corpora prepared by the library for its users. The green library promotes eco-friendly user behavior, thus the libraries are focused on green literacy. The aim of this work is to show what libraries do as advocates of sustainable ideas and to display acts which are in compliance with the concept of sustainable development. Main part of the piece shows the creation of the green idea in library practices. The founding of Working Group for Green Libraries initiated the development of green library programs in Croatia and from that moment, in accordance with global trends, activities seeking to make ecology topics as available as possible to the users begin to take place, then the librarians connect them with local issues depending on the type of library. The final part of the work is focused on practices of Croatian libraries in regards to green literacy efforts by displaying library activities such as various projects, education courses and workshops.
