Earth Day @ Your Library!

So we know that technically Earth Day isn't until April 22, 2011, but by checking out books, movies, and CDs like the ones listed below, you could actually celebrate all month long! Want to be even more green by saving gas and not driving to a branch? Visit our OverDrive database and download audiobooks or ebooks from the comfort of your own home! You can also check the library’s events calendar for activities and events taking place in all the branches throughout the month of April that have Earth Day themes. We hope to see you there!

For more information on Earth Day, it's history, and ways to get involved, visit the official website.

As always, you can check the AFPLS Catalog for all the titles here, and many more on this topic.
