📕📖📚 NPU-S Book Swap - Coming Soon! 📚 📖 📕

 

Are you a reader? 

Do you have a shelf full of books - good books - that you're not going to read again, or that maybe your kids have outgrown? Wouldn't it be great to see those books you loved find a new home? And maybe, find some more books, now that you've cleared some space?

Well, you're in luck, because Neighborhood Planning Unit S is holding its first ever Book Swap!

How It Works

Over past few weeks, NPU-S volunteers have been collecting hundreds of books from the community. And they'll be collecting right up until the doors open at VICARS at Noon, Saturday October 26th.

Everyone can take home five books, and we encourage everyone to bring their own books to the Book Swap to trade for bonus books!

Hundred of books in every category!  Fiction, nonfiction, children's and young adult books! 

ALL BOOKS ARE FREE

• When: Saturday, October 26, 2024, 12pm-6pm
• Where: VICARS Community Center, 838 Cascade Ave SW, Atlanta GA 30311

See you there!

Boil Water Advisory

The Department of Watershed Management (DWM) has issued a boil water advisory out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with Georgia EPD guidance for public advisory.

A failure at the Adamsville Pumping Station has caused a widespread water outage for customers in parts of the City of Atlanta from Martin L. King, Jr. Dr., south of I-20, to the City of Fairburn, the City of South Fulton, Chattahoochee Hills, Palmetto, and Union City.

Please use the interactive map to see if you are located in the boil water area: https://coadwm.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/lookup/index.html?appid=6f173ddd985a4789b40715a1fb748111
