Summary: The book, edited by members of the ALA Special Task Force on Sustainability and the Sustainability Round Table, covers a wide range of topics, including why sustainability matters to user communities and libraries; real-world examples of sustainability programming; lessons learned and suggestions from library workers who have actively responded to climate change; the intersection of sustainability with the work of equity, diversity, and inclusion; and recommendations for rewriting library and information science curricula in light of the practical need to build community resilience. The book is inspiring but assuredly pragmatic.
