Little Free Libraries move to new locations

South Uptown's little libraries moved to new locations. Stop by 3212 Dupont and 3315 Aldrich to leave a book and then take a book. The libraries will remain in these locations through October when they will be moved to new homes.

By the way library hosts are needed for later this year. Hosts simply monitor the library to ensure it is full of books and remains in good condition over a 3-month period of time. Contact South Uptown at (612) 823-2520 or info@southuptown.org for more information.

New neighborhood signs coming soon

In the coming weeks these new South Uptown signs will be going up around the perimeter of the neighborhood. Here’s photos of the old “CARAG” signs including the peach-colored sign with “Ruthie” the goose.

Bryant Square ash trees treated to prevent Emerald Ash Borer infestation

Last month, eight ash trees at Bryant Square Park were professionally injected in an effort to prevent an Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation. The EAB has been ravaging ash trees across the country, and is expected to wipe out the tree species over the coming years. Minneapolis Parks Forestry Department has been systematically removing ash from boulevards and parks including five infested trees at Bryant Square last spring.

South Uptown, in partnership with Minneapolis Parks, had the ash treated using Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) funds. The objective is to maintain the tree canopy at the park while giving time for replacement species to be planted and grow. EAB treatments last two years, and South Uptown intends to treat the ash again in 2021.
