Library Wish List
The Natural Step Monona is pleased to work in partnership with the Monona Public Library to build and grow the new "Sustainability Section" launched in November 2007.
The section offers books, DVDs, pamphlets, and guides that provide information about a multitude of topics related to sustainability.
To keep the section growing, we've posted a wish list of new books, DVDs, and other resources that you can buy and contribute to the cause. Take a look. Buy a book. And bring it to the library!
