Leaf for a Leaf
These Tree Plantings are part of the Leaf for a Leaf program which promotes borrowing library books to reduce the number of trees that are cut down to make paper. Learn to improve the air we breathe, minimize environmental impact, and enhance your surroundings. The program celebrates trees in the late fall through the early winter because it is the best time to plant them in Central Texas. We are planting trees at several Branches of the Austin Public Library and hosting programs that will teach you how to plant and care for trees. The Austin Public Library Leaf for a Leaf program is made possible in part by a grant from Austin Energy and in cooperation with the Urban Forestry division of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department. For more information please call 512-974-7400 or visit www.cityofaustin.org/library.
