The town of Keene is looking for volunteers to help with the post-Irene cleanup. The town plans to undertake a number of cleanup projects every weekend through November 5.
This Saturday, people will be removing mud from the basement of a house on Styles Brook Road, according to Joe Pete Wilson Jr., the town’s volunteer coordinator. Because of the mud, the homeowner has been unable to turn on the heat since the storm.
Next weekend (October 15-16), volunteers will clean mud and debris from the Keene Library and pick up debris at the community center’s playing fields. On the following Saturdays, volunteers will help clean up homes, yards, and local businesses.
If you’d like to volunteer, send an e-mail to Joe Pete at [email protected].

Are you still looking for volunteers to clear the library this weekend? If so, I’m available on Sunday. I also have a few children’s books if they are looking for donations. Let me know. Thanks.
