Calling All Trash Trekkers!

The Burke Branch Library has formed a walking group of "trash trekkers" who meet to get some exercise while helping clean our environment. Working together, we will pick up litter in the areas around the Library each month. So grab your walking shoes and help us keep our streets — and the beings who live here — healthy.

Clean up supplies will be provided. Please dress for the weather as we will be outside. This activity will require the ability to walk at an easy pace and to bend to pick up items on the ground.

Through registering, you will receive instructions and email updates related to the event.

Please email Caroline at cpak@alexlibraryva.org with questions or for more information.
