“The Earth is what we all have in common.”  –Wendell Berry

Celebrate the earth and explore environmental issues at BCPL’s first annual Earth Day Festival! Learn about environmentally healthy choices; protecting wildlife; reducing your carbon footprint; and how to contribute to a healthy, sustainable future. You’ll gain knowledge and know-how as you visit vendors and exhibits, create upcycled crafts, listen to music, and more.
