The concept of Green Library was designed to support the Sustainable Development agenda by United Nations and sustainable education mission of an academic institute. However, the role of the Green Library is as a mean not only for environmental awareness but also in the lifelong learning process. The role of Green Library in supporting environmental awareness are divided into 2 types that comprise of 1) to be an environmental design feature that helps people learn how to access environmentally – friendly material and save the environment. 2) to be a knowledge base for increasing environmental awareness using the 3E principle – Empower, Engage and Energize.
