Spring is here!


It's that time of year, again. Welcome spring by ridding the house, office, or your desk of its winter dust and clutter. Real Simple has a web page that will guide you through the spring cleaning process, whether you have 15 minutes or a weekend to spend.

Have some bulky wastes and discards that aren't usually picked up with your weekly trash? Visit the City of Santa Clara to learn more about the annual Clean-Up Campaign which begins today and goes through April 25.

While you are thinking about spring cleaning, how about going green? The library has lots of books that can help you clean green. Some titles that might interest you:
