The Clarksville-Montgomery County Library has advanced from Bronze to Gold level certification through the Clarksville–Montgomery County Green Certification Program (CMCGCP), reflecting its continued commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.

The library maintained core requirements for energy and water conservation and waste reduction while expanding its efforts at the Main Library and establishing strong sustainable practices at the North Branch.

During the North Branch opening, staff partnered with Bi-County Solid Waste Management to recycle all cardboard and incorporated an outdoor space with plans for future classes, expanded reading and sensory areas, and staff facilities.

Transportation efficiencies, including staff carpooling and route optimization for book transfers between branches, further support the library’s sustainability goals. Additional initiatives include the Booktique at the Main Library, where donated books, CDs, and DVDs are sold for $1, promoting reuse while supporting library programs.

Library staff participate in ongoing education focused on waste reduction, and the library continues to serve as a community hub for programs and events. Through its summer reading program, the library also prioritizes providing food access for children.

Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden thanked Library Director Christina Reidel and the library team for their leadership, highlighting the positive impact of their work on youth and the broader community.

“We are always looking for ways to do our work better, support our customers, and make our community healthier,” said Riedel. “I also want to thank library team member April Papenfuss for leading this effort for us.”

The Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is encouraging residents whose homes were impacted by recent severe weather to complete a brief online damage reporting survey.

The survey helps state and local officials better understand the type and extent of damage communities are experiencing.

“We encourage any Clarksville and Montgomery County residents whose home has been affected to take a moment to complete the survey,” said Montgomery County EMA Director Steve Batten. “Resident feedback helps us clearly understand the challenges our community is facing and strengthens recovery efforts statewide.”

The survey is designed to be easy and can be completed in just a few minutes from a computer or mobile device. Residents can access the survey online here.
