Families with children aged 3 - 7 are invited for a special holiday Evening Storytime. Join us at East Branch for a quick visit from Santa as he stops by long enough to read a story! Storytime begins at 6:00pm. Receive your ticket upon arrival and get it validated twice (once to make a craft and once to receive a treat bag to take home). Craft tables open after Santa leaves and close at 7:00pm. Happy Holidays from East Branch!

No registration. While supplies last.

Want to know where the City’s leaf vacuum has been? Use the Leaf Vacuum Tracker link below to follow our progress through the city in real time.

Leaf Vacuum Tracker: https://portal.fleetpaths.com/public/983187/983108

This tool helps residents see the route the leaf vacuum has traveled so you can get a better idea of when it may reach your neighborhood. Please note that the map shows all routes taken, including travel to and from the Public Services building and the designated area where the vacuum is emptied.

The leaf vacuum moves slowly, and it can take a week or more to make one full loop through the city. Crews begin on the northeast side and continue through to the northwest side before restarting the cycle.

If you prefer, you’re always welcome to bag your leaves for pickup on your regularly scheduled yard waste collection day. To make cleanup easier this season, we’ve removed the six bag limit for the remainder of the year.
