										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Afrelib/AFLIA Webinar on Green Library Initiative 
Theme: Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Libraries in Africa
In an age where environmental sustainability is no longer optional, libraries across Africa are stepping up to become beacons of green practices and education. Green libraries play a crucial role in minimizing environmental impact and empowering communities by promoting sustainable living. They adopt energy-efficient systems, green building materials, and waste-reduction strategies, all while serving as knowledge hubs for sustainability.
