Celebrate Earth Month At East Brunswick Public Library

Did you know that April is Earth Month? To celebrate our planet and to learn how to better take care of the environment, East Brunswick Public Library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center) has several activities planned.

The library is partnering with the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission to host the program “Introduction to NJ Birds” on Wednesday, April 3 at 7:00 pm. This is a lively, interactive program about New Jersey’s beautiful birds presented through colorful slides and audio recordings. The program is recommended for ages 8 and older.

Outside The Box Market founder and blogger Jesse Damiano shares tips and hints that can make a big impact on the environment at the program “Sustainable Alternatives For Every Day Living” on Saturday, April 27 at 11:00 am. Whether you are on a limited budget or have no time, Daimano shares several things you can do to be more environmentally conscious.

Let’s Bloom Together presents “Vermicomposting For Kids” on Wednesday, April 17 at 2:00 pm. Through an interactive session, each child will learn the benefits of vermicomposting and how our little worm friends help out, and they will create their own vermicompost bin to take home! The program is for kids in grades K and up. Seating is limited; tickets will be distributed 30 minutes before the program begin. “Vermicomposting for Kids” is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Other programs include “Re-Purposing Retro: Upcycled Cassette Tapes” on Tuesday, April 16 at 7:00 pm, “Introduction to Composting with the Middlesex County Master Gardeners” on Thursday, April 25 at 7:00 pm, and “Green Apps For Earth Month” on Tuesday, April 30 at 6:00 pm.

All Earth Month programs are free and open to the public. For more information about these and other programs at East Brunswick Public Library, visit www.ebpl.org/calendar.
