Kill a Watt Energy Meters Program: A VALLA Initiative

Abstract

Cohorts of the first Virginia Library Leadership Academy held in April 2010 were challenged to develop a project that would enhance their leadership skills. I decided to establish a program that would provide a new service to library patrons that, while reflecting Prince William Public Library System’s desire to provide timely services to our public, would support their interest in saving money and resources. The “Kill a Watt Energy Usage Meters” project was born.
