Summer Reading Program 2010 at the Burlington Public Library The Burlington Public Library 2010 Summer Reading Program is proud to announce a partnership with Alcoa as we invite you to “Join the Green Team@ the BPL ”. It is our hope that as we learn about ways to become more eco-friendly from books, programs, and each other, we will be well onour way to reducing our carbon footprint by the end of the summer. Click here and you will find a footprint calculator to use both at the beginning, and again at the end of the summer to see how you have been able to transform your lifestyle to reduce your carbon footprint. |
