Ever wondered how to stay up to date with the latest water conservation measures?  Or if a certain material is safe to dispose of in the sanitary sewer? How about the planned waste water treatment plant expansion? As our city grows, residents need simple, concise answers to those sort of questions. That is the goal of Water Wise and Sewer Savvy, the city’s newest outreach education effort.
We want to help our citizens be informed and to make good decisions about how they participate in the use of our water resources and the needs of responsible sewer operations.

“Take a book, leave a book.” Sometimes the simplest idea sparks a movement. That’s the story of Little Free Libraries, the phenomenally popular tiny library initiative that now counts the City of Kyle as one of its stewards. 

A Little Free Library is a free book exchange that usually consists of an attractively decorated small wooden box placed outside.  Anyone can take a book to read or bring a book to share. There are currently over 50,000 of these libraries in all 50 states and over 70 countries.

When the Kyle Public Library was looking for new ways to engage the community, Little Free Libraries provided a unique opportunity. Librarian Jane Ray worked with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to obtain four libraries free of charge, then joined forces with the Parks Department to determine installation locations. Thanks to this combined effort, Little Free Libraries are now available at City Square Park, Steeplechase Park,  Gregg-Clarke Parks and the Kyle Railroad Depot and Heritage Center.

So stop by one and see for yourself what can happen when creative thinking and innovation combine with dedicated teamwork. And while you’re at it, “take a book, leave a book”!
