Join Charlie Pioli, owner of O-Town Compost in a hands on tutorial demonstrating the basics of composting! Be prepared to get dirty, so bring clothes you do not mind being exposed to compost scraps.
It's International Composting Week and O-Town Compost will demonstrate to the audience the importance of diverting waste from the landfill, and explain what happens after you throw your banana peel "away." Composting is the most simple way we can recycle our organic waste into nutrient-rich soil for growing food. O-Town Compost will walk guests through the process of mixing food waste with carbon materials and the decomposition into a humus. Lastly, worm farming is a fun and easy way to improve the condition of your soil for growing plants, and I will demonstrate how to start a simple worm bin and keep it going.

The Alafaya Branch has a long history of providing library services to the East Orange County community. The branch originally opened in 1965 as the Azalea Park branch, situated on Lake Barton Road. From the 1970s through the 1990s the branch provided library services from shopping center locations. Ground was broken in January 1999 for a new branch, designed to be the prototype branch for future Orange County Library System branches. Opened on February 1, 2000, the Alafaya branch was funded by a Florida Library Construction Grant.
