Abstract :
Objective: The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of libraries in society and implement the process of sustainable development, clarify the role of university libraries and evaluate them based on components, green library indicators and lead standards and provide strategies to them. Methodology: The present study was conducted using the library methods and literature review.Results: The research findings showed that in order to have a green university library, this issue should first be considered by the society and the government, and in order to implement it, it should start by promoting green thinking and culture in the society. Because many of our problems in this area are rooted in culture and misuse of natural and non-renewable resources. University libraries have a great role to play in this regard due to their mission in teaching culture and creating a global civilization.Conclusion: To have a university green library, you do not necessarily have to start with a green building, but these libraries have green missions. Optimal use of water and non-renewable energy, use of recycling methods and waste management are known as green libraries.
