• In January 2009, the library installed a 1,000 gallon tank on the east side of the Downtown Library to harvest rainwater. The simple gravity-fed system collects rainwater for supplemental watering of trees and shrubs.

• In autumn 2009 the library installed solar panels on the roof of the Downtown Library, and the panels went live at the beginning of December. The panels generate up to 11 kW of electricity, and the system is designed for easy expansion in the future. Click here for the latest information on how much energy the solar panels are generating.
