Any event in the environmental direction should contain a local history component: information covering the history of the issue, the person who took part in this case, the place where the event takes place, and so on. – it is impossible to conduct an ecological direction without referring to the local invoice.

The promotion of environmental knowledge is carried out in a variety of ways and forms. These are quizzes and bioinformins, information hours, literary and musical and thematic evenings (“Enter nature with a good heart”), environmental lessons (“Borrow health from nature” (about medicinal plants), on the problems of environmental ethics “Nature must be protected from dirt, soot and smoke”; an hour of poetry "Bow to the Earth, man!".

Class hours, morning performances, trips and excursions to nature, environmental inspections of the streets and environs of the city, environmental clean-up days, months on ecology, debates, conferences, meetings with environmentalists, role-playing games, competitions, where parents of students are also invited. All this activity is complex and includes environmental, patriotic, labor, aesthetic and moral education of schoolchildren.

New forms of interaction with the population and organizations interested in improving the environmental situation have been developed, such as the Tribuna public opinion”, “Environmental Patrol”, “Civil Forum”, etc.

Libraries initiated Scientific research: excursions, development of routes of the "Ecological trail", competitions of essays, mapping of pollution settlements; participate in international environmental campaigns.

Today, many libraries in the country use a variety of approaches in their environmental and environmental activities: the use of eco-friendly colors in the interior design of libraries, book and illustration exhibitions, photo exhibitions, stands and wall-mounted environmental newspapers, posters; phytomodules, living corners, crafts made from natural materials; work of environmental and natural history circles and lecture halls; implementation of programs and projects; creation of information and bibliographic manuals of small forms; Participation in environmental and environmental campaigns.

In Vologda, for example, the title of “Green Leader” is awarded based on the results of participation in the “Days of Protection from Environmental Hazard” campaign. So, on the Day of the City, the head of Vologda was awarded this honorary title and presented with a green metal watering can painted with daisies. practiced awarding the title "Green Library" and "Green Librarian", which is comparable to the award of a quality label for the environmental and conservation activities of a library or an individual librarian.
