Project Green

The Riverside Public Library strives to be economically and ecologically responsible. We now have a Green Committee to watchdog purchasing and use of materials, as well as to examine ways to conserve, reuse and recycle more. To see a list of our recent efforts to do our part to preserve our earth, just click on the recycling picture on the left.


How Can Patrons Help Our Green Efforts?

 
- Register your email address at the Circulation desk. Any contact for request pick ups, and overdue notices, will be immediately sent to you, saving time, money in late charges and phone call charges!
 - Register for children’s and adult programs by email. As soon as a new program is added to our calendar, you will be sent a notification.
- Check our website for our calendar of events, don’t miss important and interesting programs!
 - Bring in your own canvas bag to carry your checked out materials, or check out a canvas bag from the Library.
 - Bring in your own coffee mug when attending our programs. We’ll supply the beverage.
 - Drop off used print cartridges, old eyeglasses, hearing aids, batteries cell phones, retired American Flags. Don’t forget those milk rings for our Christmas tree!

Again, we welcome input regarding other areas in which we can improve our conservation efforts.
