Our Mobile Libraries are driving change! 🚐 As part of our #MakeOneChange campaign, we’re proud to share that our mobile library vans now run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) instead of traditional diesel. Making this change has allowed us to: ✅ Reduce our greenhouse gas emissions ✅ Enhance engine performance and efficiency, resulting in lower maintenance costs ✅ Contribute to @Corkcoco net-zero emissions and sustainability targets So by making this one change, we’re helping to create a cleaner, greener Cork while continuing to bring books and resources to our rural communities! 📖 #WhatLibrariesDo
