Resident praises Bensonville Library and stormwater education programs

During public comment, Kaye praised community stormwater education efforts at the Bensonville Library and in local schools. She described the library as a “tiny, really incredible gem” that has conducted tree plantings, created a native-plant courtyard, hosted composting workshops and run a rain-barrel sale. She said the library planted 13 new trees this year and ran 29 STEM presentations over five weeks, reaching hundreds of students and staff.
