A new collection developed by the Madison Public Library - Pinney Branch and sponsored by a grant from the Madison Community Foundation.

About the Sustainable Living Collection

The Pinney Branch Library recognizes the importance of "living green." Thanks to a generous grant from the Madison Community Foundation, Pinney will be able to expand its collection of materials on sustainable living and provide programming and events emphasizing ways in which everyone can contribute to sustainable living for our future. The collection, including new periodicals, adult, teen and children's books, will include information about green building techniques, pollution and recycling, reuse of materials, and much more.
