Visit the Ohio State Entomology BUGmobile at the Upper Arlington Public Library Sustainability Fair!

Saturday, April 5, 10am-2pm at the Upper Arlington Public Library Tremont Road Branch, 2800 Tremont Road, Upper Arlington, OH 43221

Celebrate the sustainable initiatives happening in our community. Visit with local organizations, try hands-on activities, and enjoy youth- focused programs with the family. Details available at this link: https://ualibrary.libnet.info/event/12817431

The Ohio State Entomology BUGmobile, our mobile bug zoo, classroom, and laboratory, will provide some unique insight into these animals who are so important to food and other ecosystems around the world Inside.

Our parking lot will be a place to donate books, household items, recycle electronics & styrofoam, and an opportunity to donate used bicycles to local non-profit, Franklinton Cycle Works. Circular Thrift will be collecting donations of gently used clothing and fashion accessories for our clothing swap on April 19th. 

The youth activity area will be hosting a Sustainability Storytime in the morning for our younger stewards of the earth. We will also have presentations about the impacts of fashion on the planet & how to create a sustainable wardrobe, and on how to create a more sustainable yard through the Franklin Soil & Water Community Backyards program.

We hope everyone who attends this event walks away with some actionable items they can do to make sustainable changes!
