Lynnfield Orders Mosquito Spraying At Town Fields, Parks
Lynnfield officials issued a public notice this week authorizing barrier and ULV adulticide mosquito spraying at town fields and parks, one of several town updates as the Lynnfield Public Library nears the end of a summer roof repair project and launches a new back-to-school supply drive with Citizens Inn.
TOWN HALL
The town posted a standard written notification this week announcing barrier and ultra-low volume (ULV) adulticide application at public fields and parks to control the local mosquito population, according to a notice on the town website. The treatment is intended to knock down adult mosquito populations as the region moves through the height of late-summer mosquito activity.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Lynnfield Public Library is wrapping up roof repair work this summer, a project the library's website says is aimed at protecting the historic Summer Street building and its collection. Lynnfield Patch also spotlighted the project in a recent roundup, a topic the library's own website has promoted this month as well (see Elsewhere In The News).
The library has also launched a back-to-school supply drive in partnership with Citizens Inn, inviting residents to donate school supplies for local families ahead of the new school year, according to the library's website. Separately, the library added a new teen program, Teen Seashell Painting, to its calendar for Monday, Aug. 17.
