Overview: During the recent Newbury Library Board meeting, members focused on sustainability issues, specifically the absence of a recycling program within the library. After discussing past unsuccessful attempts to implement such a program, members expressed concern over waste management practices, notably a significant accumulation of documents awaiting shredding. The possibility of coordinating with town hall for shredding services and organizing a community shredding event was explored. There was a consensus on the importance of establishing a recycling initiative, particularly in light of the town’s recent efforts to enhance sustainability. The library currently has unused recycling bins, highlighting past efforts to address this issue. Members agreed to further investigate town hall’s recycling practices to inform the library’s future actions.
