Abstract:

The concept of the Green Library has emerged as a crucial paradigm in the 21st century, emphasizing environmental sustainability in library design, operation, and services. This review paper explores the historical evolution, definitions, objectives, and frameworks that shape the Green Library movement, focusing on global and Indian perspectives. It critically analyzes the integration of green building standards like LEED and GRIHA, sustainable operational practices, green collection development, and literacy programs. Additionally, the paper highlights the transformative role of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics in enhancing Green Library services. Finally, the paper discusses challenges, national initiatives, and future directions for fostering environmentally responsible libraries as key agents of sustainable development.
