This study aimed to identify the prospects of green librarianship in academic settings. It also intended to reveal best practices for the adoption of green libraries. A systematic literature review methodology was incorporated to address the study's objectives. Twenty-two studies (peer-reviewed research articles and conference papers) published in 11 reputable digital databases were selected to conduct the investigation. The study revealed five critical prospects for green librarianship within academia: advocacy, innovation, institutional devotion, sociocultural empowerment, and transformative education. Initiatives like institutional planning, resource acquisition, community development, infrastructure and environmental education were found to be most useful in adopting green libraries. The study contributes to theory and practice by formulating specific managerial, methodological, and social implications.
