Library Clean-up Day
Library Clean-Up Day
Friday, May 1 at 12:00 pm
Join us for a bit of spring cleanup at the library.
We’ll spend some time freshening up both the outdoor spaces and inside the building. The main focus will be spreading mulch and weeding the garden, along with a few other small projects as time allows.
If you’re able to stop by, even for a short time, it would be a big help. No need to stay the whole time.
If you have them, feel free to bring:
Garden or lawn rakes
A wheelbarrow
Gloves
Warm clothes (It might be a bit chilly)
We’ll have a few snacks on hand, and you’re welcome to bring something to share if you’d like.
Thanks for helping us take care of the space.
