The Green Library An established Green Library supports sustainable design strategies. The library shown above is a growing collection of documented research, resources, material samples, and material mock-ups. While the Manager of Sustainable Design at Two Twelve Associates, a Green Library with a label system for green materials and product information was designed and implemented. The labels created a cross - reference system linking the material samples and product information found in The Green Library's Green Binders.
