As part of the AmeriCorps program at the library, Stolba talked to the kids about recycling and hazardous materials. He also showed them how to make a homemade cleaner that is safe to use around the home. Here, Lukas Perry assists by adding the lemon juice. The program was sponsored by the Jones County Solid Waste Commission and ECICOG.
August Stolba with Green Iowa AmeriCorps read the book “What’s Going On In There?” by Geoffrey Grahn to children at the Monticello Public Library on Aug. 1. The book taught kids that not everything in the world is as it seems. (Photos by Kim Brooks)
