Paperboats Call to Action for Scotland’s #GreenLibraries

Category: CILIPSGoGreen

If you, like us, were inspired to hear from writers’ collective Paperboats at Scotland’s Green Libraries Gathering last month, discovering how Scotland’s libraries can stand and sail in solidarity with writers tackling the climate crisis, then be sure to check out their new library toolkit: sharing details of how your library community can play its part by setting up a ‘Paperboat Yard’.

Paperboats are aiming to make 1000 paperboats with 1000 messages of hope for the future to deliver to decision-makers at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 23rd November, timed to coincide with the start of COP28. Their virtual toolkit includes everything you need to know about joining in with this encouraging environmental action, plus those all-important instructions also shared at the Green Libraries Gathering of how to make a paperboat from a recycled or ‘weeded’ library book page!
