In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda. Its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promote socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable development. Libraries can contribute to achieving all 17 goals. By lending media, resources are conserved; their collections provide free access to media and information; and through their events and reading promotion programs, libraries contribute to education and equal opportunities. The Stadtbibliothek Bremen also contributes to all 17 SDGs through its offerings and services.
