GC launches ‘Green Desktop 9 GOSHEN When Goshen College students return to classes this fall, their desktop computing experience will be very green. This summer the college has launched a green desktop initiative as part of Goshen's zero carbon footprint goals by ordering 400 energy-efficient Apple Mac Minis to replace every campus PC. "The Minis... consume as little as one-eighth power of the PCs they are replacing," said Michael Sherer, director of the college's information technology services. Facilities manager and sustainability coordinator Glenn Gilbert estimated that the upgrade will save the college SB,OOO per year in electricity and cooling costs. The computers that are being replaced will be sold or recycled. Annie Martens, a junior collegiate studies major from Mishawaka, said students are excited about the new Minis. "There was some confusion about whether you could run Windows on them, but they're so much faster," she said. The green desktop initiative is not an isolated move toward sustainability. Goshen College has long been a leader in sustainability, energy management and green facilities management, with achievements that itjclude: • Reducing campus energy consumption to levels seen in 1991, despite a 61 percent increase in campus square footage. • Building the first LEED-Platinum-certified academic building in Indiana (Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center's Rieth Village). • Building energy efficient senior apartments in 2005 and 2008. • Using a wind turbine and a photovoltaic array to generate one-third of the electricity for Merry Lea's Rieth Village. • Being a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. • Converting waste vegetable oil from the school dining hall into biodiesel to operate the campus backup generator.

Materials for this make-and-take craft will be available in the children's department from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call 574-773-7919 or go to www.nappanee. lib.in.us. Book club discusses travel memoir Read along with the Cover to Cover Book Club at the Nappanee Public Library. The club will meet Sunday, Aug. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. to discuss Dreaming in Hindi: Coming Awake in Another Language by Katherine Russell Rich. In this inspirational memoir, Rich documents her experiences in India using Hindi as the lens through which she is given a new perspective not only on India, but on the radical way the country and the language itself were changing her. Fascinated by the process, she went on to interview linguistics experts around the world to explore what happens in the brain when we learn a new language. Seamlessly combining Rich's courageous (and often hilarious) personal journey with wide-ranging reporting, Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves. For more information or to reserve a copy of the books, call 574-773-7919. Cover to Cover Book Club meets at the library on the second Sunday of each month. Additional information can also be found online at www.nappanee.lib.in.us.
