Visit the Library during WCM’s 10th Annual Unpower Hour

Fun Fact: The Library is doing its part by saving WCM 1,568kWh/year on electricity. We revamped the lighting in the library's front room to an automated system since last year.

The Weill Cornell Medicine Unpower Hour is the official kick-off of our year-long energy savings plan. For the tenth year in a row, Weill Cornell faculty, students, and staff will power down for one hour on Thursday, March 22, from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m.

During this hour, we invite you to turn off your computers and office lights, and visit the library:

• Use our communal space, computers and laptops.
• Learn what we can do together to create a more sustainable world. The library will be hosting screenings of a selection of award-winning animated movies sponsored by the Story of Stuff Project.
• Everyone who comes into the Library during Unpower Hour will be eligible to sign up for the Green Initiative’s raffle - win a bag of green-friendly prizes.
• Enjoy our latest art show.
• Confer with a librarian about our various services.
• Bring a spill-proof mug and purchase coffee, and do some quiet reading or work in our Sunken Reading Room, 24/7 area, or Stacks.
