Brandywine’s Vairo Library Offers On-Campus Support of Sustainability

Penn State Brandywine’s Vairo Library supports the projects developed by the Sustainovation Team and plans to provide additional assistance in researching and engaging sustainability practices.

Throughout the semester, the library will design and implement displays with books and other forms of media regarding sustainability as well as being a hub for some of the Sustainovation Team’s efforts (i.e., donation location for Media Food Bank drive(s)).

Vairo Library has provided a resource-filled library guide as a starting point for students, faculty, and staff to conduct research. The Library also has a library pass that Penn State students, staff and faculty can check out to visit Tyler Arboretum.
