The City of Lawrence is hosting an Energy Conservation Fair to help residents learn how to reduce energy costs and promote sustainable living.

The free event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 18 at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from experts about weatherization, renewable energy, home energy audits and more. In addition, participants will be able to connect with local installers and technology providers, explore utility assistance programs and take home energy-efficiency goodies, according to a release from the city.

“Small changes can make a big difference,” Kathy Richardson, sustainability director of the City of Lawrence, said in the release. “The Energy Conservation Fair will connect residents with the tools, resources and expertise they need to save money, conserve energy and support our community’s sustainability goals.”
