In our mission statement, TU Wien Bibliothek commits to becoming a green and sustainable library. Working towards this goal, our focus was on mobility once again in 2023. This year, students as well as librarians were invited to participate in the campaigns "Wien radelt" (Vienna cycles) and “Niederösterreich radelt” (Lower Austria cycles). 31 persons accepted the challenge (compared to 8 participants in 2022).

Between 20 March and 30 September, the participants covered a total of 18,690 kilometres by bike or on foot (2022: 6,460), which corresponds to a saving of 3,297kg in CO2 emissions (2022: 1,140kg) compared to car journeys. Our library staff and students made their daily lives more active and achieved health benefits, as well as contributing to a more sustainable environment.

We thank all participants, particularly our students, for their contributions!
