Library Events for Adults




Draft Stopper
IN-PERSON: Sustainability Workshop: No-Sew Draft Stoppers

*Wednesday, July 22, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.*

Learn how to make your own no-sew draft stopper using simple household items! No sewing experience needed! Draft stoppers help keep cool air inside during the summer and block cold drafts in the winter, improving comfort year-round. By sealing gaps under doors, they also help reduce energy loss, making your home more energy-efficient and potentially lowering your utility bills.

 

This easy, eco-friendly DIY project is a great way to reuse materials you already have at home while adding a cozy, practical touch to your living space.

 

This program will take place in the Library Program Room at Sunnyvale Main Library. Registration is not required but supplies are first come, first served. Register for an email reminder. [ https://sunnyvale.libcal.com/event/15156596 ]

Storm Drain
Sunnyvale Environmental Services: Adopt-a-Storm Drain!

The City of Sunnyvale's Environmental Services Department is excited to introduce new a community initiative to help keep local waterways clean and streets flood-free: the Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program [ https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/homes-streets-and-property/streets-and-trees/storm-drains/adopt-a-storm-drain ].

 

Sunnyvale's stormwater system plays a critical role in managing runoff from streets and neighborhoods. Unlike wastewater, stormwater in Sunnyvale is not treated or filtered before reaching local waterways. Debris-clogged storm drains can cause street flooding and introduce pollutants into the Bay. By keeping storm drains clear of debris, participants can make a direct impact on the community by preventing flooding and protecting local creeks and the Bay.

 

As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to name their adopted drain and will be provided access to City-supplied tools and safety equipment, including a litter tool, rake, dustpan, bucket, gloves and a safety vest.
