<div class="fr-view"><p>At the end of October, libraries across the UK celebrated <a href="https://www.cilip.org.uk/page/GreenLibrariesWeek">Green Libraries Week</a>, a national campaign led by CILIP <a href="https://www.cilip.org.uk/" style="cursor: pointer;color: rgb(23, 156, 186);text-decoration: none;font-family: Cabin, sans-serif;font-size: 17px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"></a>(the UK&rsquo;s library and information association) that highlights how libraries are taking action on climate change and sustainability. From local projects to creative skills-building activities, libraries are finding new ways to make a difference.</p>
<p>Here at the OU Library, we&rsquo;re joining in by sharing two special resource lists to help you explore sustainability and build your green skills:</p>
<p><a href="https://university.open.ac.uk/library/library-resources/sustainability"><strong>Sustainability resource list</strong></a></p>
<p>Created with the OU Sustainability team, this collection looks at the big questions around climate change &ndash; and the practical things we can do to help. It&rsquo;s all about prevention, collaboration, and thinking long-term for a better future.</p>
<p><a href="https://university.open.ac.uk/library/library-resources/green-skills"><strong>Green Skills resource list</strong></a></p>
<p>Green Skills are key to creating a more sustainable world &ndash; and you might already have some without realising it! This list helps you spot, develop, and use your green skills to make a positive impact.</p>
<p>Both lists are updated regularly, and we&#039;d love your <a href="https://www.open.ac.uk/libraryservices/forms/edi-feedback">input on what to add next</a>. Start exploring using the links above, and join us in working towards a greener, more sustainable future.</p>
