The Multifaceted Role of Green Libraries in Advancing Sustainable Development in Kenya

t Sustainable development has become a global priority as societies recognize the need to address environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic challenges.The paper sought to establish the role of green libraries in Kenya in championing UN SDGs with a descriptive research design and mixed-methods case study approach. Interviews were conducted with head librarians from 12 representative green libraries in Kenya. An observation checklist was used to complement the interviews. Framework analysis was the mode of data analysis used in line with the interpretivism paradigm that formed the pillar of the research. The findings showed that green libraries in Kenya have emerged as champions of SDGs by embracing green initiatives in recent years. This paper’s focus on Kenya specifically highlights how Kenyan libraries are implementing green initiatives and contributing to SDGs. This localized approach allows for a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities unique to the Kenyan context.
