JOIN THE MOVEMENT - JOIN THE GREEN LIBRARY
Take out a monthly subscription to varying 'green' works of art - for the wall in the office, at home, in the catering industry, shop or waiting room. Beautifully styled Still Lifes of flowers and plants created by digital artist EYEREEN.
Take that step towards a more sustainable office or home. Green your surroundings, but without a major impact on the environment. Contribute to the step towards a zero waste office or home and participate in the circular economy.
By sharing art the impact remains low. Change from ownership to usership is important for a sustainable future. The more members share the artworks, the more impact. Are you participating?
You also support The Pollinators , who help pollinating insects survive by restoring the landscape in the Netherlands. THE GREEN LIBRARY donates 1% of its sales to this fantastic initiative.
And for our business customers: Not very green, but perhaps nice to know; The monthly subscription to THE GREEN LIBRARY is tax deductible if your company is registered in the Netherlands.
HOW IT WORKS?
Very simple!
CHOOSE A STILL LIFE
View the Still Life Collection and choose your first favorite work of art. Determine which colors best suit your office or interior or let your choice depend on the season. Can't decide? We can swing by for advice or you can email a photo of where the artwork should be placed to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl . We are happy to help!
CHOOSE A SIZE
Consider which size suits you best. 40x60cm quickly brightens up a small space and can also be provided with legs and printed on both sides, so that it can stand on a counter. 80x120cm makes quite an impression and with 100x150cm you really make a statement. Here too, if you can't figure it out yourself, we will be happy to come by for advice or you can email a photo of where the artwork should be placed to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl .
Do you want much larger or custom work? Or do you want to borrow Still lifes for an event? Of course that is also possible! Please complete the contact form on the website or send an email with your plans to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will contact you as soon as possible.
PLACE YOUR ORDER
As soon as your order has been placed, we will get to work for you. We will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment.
Are you unable to decide which work of art you want to start with? Then we are happy to make the choice for you.
You can enjoy your Still Life as long as the subscription runs. And when you are ready for another work of art, you can easily swap. You can change your Still Life as often as you want, for €15 per swap. You can also adjust the size and subscription to your liking at any time.
It is also possible to combine multiple subscriptions. We have a nice discount for you if you want to take advantage of this option! Please contact us at info@thegreenlibrary.nl

Memberships
How does borrowing a Still Life work?
Borrowing from THE GREEN LIBRARY is very simple! Follow the steps below and the fun can begin:
1. Choose your Still Life
Select your favorite Still Life and choose your size. Are you unsure which work of art would look best? Email a photo or video to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will take a look.
2. Place your order
As soon as your order has been placed, we will get to work for you. We collect all supplies and schedule a delivery date with you.
3. Enjoy your Still Life .
We deliver the Still Life at the requested location. You pay a fixed amount per month and can keep the Still Life for as long as you want. Enjoy!
4. Time for a new Still Life ? Request a swap and we will schedule a delivery time with you. We place the new Still Life and take the old Still Life with us. This is being cleaned for a new customer – so completely circular.
Purchasing
Can I purchase the Still Life that I borrow?
Of course! The advantage of borrowing is that you can keep changing Still lifes and are therefore never 'stuck' with one image. But everything is for sale, including the Still lifes .
Members can enjoy a discount. You can buy the Still Lifes after a membership of 1 year with a 10% discount, after 2 years with a 20% discount and after 3 years with the highest possible discount of 30%.
Sustainability
What is sustainable about borrowing wall art?
The canvases and frames used by THE GREEN LIBRARY can be reused. After a thorough cleaning, the frames are passed on to the next customer if a subscription is canceled. They are made of aluminum and therefore easy to maintain and can also be recycled for other purposes.
The canvases are cleaned after each rental and (barring damage) they are passed on to the next customer.
If the canvases are damaged, we will arrange for another destination in collaboration with a sewing workshop.
Delivery & returns
How will my Still Life be delivered?
The Still Life is delivered by our own delivery service (we sometimes use an external party only when it concerns a purchase and outside our delivery area) to ensure that everything goes according to our wishes. To reduce our footprint, we use minimal packaging material and all used packaging material will be taken away and reused by the delivery person. We deliver by bicycle in the Amsterdam region.
What if I don't like my Still Life ?
Despite a careful choice by yourself or us, it may of course happen that you are not completely satisfied. If something isn't 100% perfect, our team will do everything they can to help you. Contact us at hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will make sure that you can exchange your Still Life for a Still Life of your choice.
What if my Still Life is damaged upon arrival?
The delivery person will always check whether the Still Life is in perfect order before leaving the building. If there is something wrong, please contact us at hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will make sure that you can exchange it for a new Still Life .
What if the Still Life that I borrowed gets damaged in my office or at home?
We'll figure it out! If you accidentally damage your Still Life , please contact us at hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will find a solution together.
What if the service disappoints me?
If you are not satisfied with our membership service, please indicate that you wish to cancel the subscription within 14 days of purchasing the subscription. We will then refund the entire purchase amount of the subscription. It is good to know that the subscription can also be canceled every month.
I receive the message that I cannot order because I fall outside the delivery area. How can I order?
For the time being, we only deliver our works of art within a radius of approximately 50 km around Amsterdam to limit our footprint. Works of art that are purchased will be delivered throughout the Netherlands however because this concerns a one-time delivery.
So please send a message to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl if you fall outside the delivery area and would like to purchase a Still Life , and we will set things up for you.
If you would like to become a member of THE GREEN LIBRARY and borrow Still Lifes , but you fall outside the delivery area, please send an email to hello@thegreenlibrary.nl and we will look at the options together.
Payments
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept iDEAL and credit card. If you prefer to use a different payment method, please contact us at hello@thegreenlibary.nl and we will look at the options.
When will my first payment be debited from my account?
The first period is paid in advance when you pay for a Still Life on our website. Your membership starts on the date the Still Life is delivered. From that moment on, the amount will be automatically debited from your account every month.
Tailor-made
