The Lititz Public Library's newest addition is a Bottle Caps to Benches bench. The bench arrived at the library at the end of October, and it has taken up a prominent position near the circulation desk. The idea for collecting bottle caps to turn into a bench began with the library's youth librarian, Karen Payonk.
After researching the idea and working with The ABC Program and Green Tree Plastics, the library asked the community to donate plastic bottle caps. Individuals and organizations in the community heeded the call and brought in more than 400 pounds of bottle caps. Next, youths in the community sorted and weighed the caps. The caps were then delivered to Green Tree Plastics, where they were recycled and turned into a 6-foot bench.
The Pfautz family of Lititz helped deliver the bottle caps and pick up the bench.
