At IGF 2024, the OnePile Foundation introduces its cutting-edge initiative, the OnePile.io SDG Book Club, under the session titled "Digital Libraries for Sustainability: Empowering Global Communities with SDG Knowledge and the SDG Book Club." This session will focus on the transformative role that digital libraries can play in disseminating knowledge about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to global audiences. The OnePile.io platform revolutionizes how books related to the SDGs are categorized, accessed, and utilized, bridging the gap between digital technology and sustainability education. Through our digital bookcrossing application, we have successfully integrated over 400 books with dedicated SDG labels, enabling users to engage deeply with topics that are crucial for sustainable development. This session will highlight how digital innovations, particularly in the realm of digital book sharing and libraries, can significantly enhance the educational landscape by making sustainability resources accessible worldwide. It will also explore the impact of such platforms in fostering a global community that is well-informed and motivated to take action towards achieving the SDGs. Linking directly to the IGF2024 issue area of "Enhancing the digital contribution to peace, development, and sustainability," this presentation will demonstrate the potential of digital libraries to act as catalysts for educational and societal change. Participants will explore successful strategies for scaling this model across different regions and discuss the role of digital technology in promoting peace and sustainable development through education.
