The motivation behind this placement of Little Library was the interaction between AYLUS volunteers and kids who were skipping school. We realized the area could have a potential lack to literacy and kids who needed to read could access books more efficiently if we started a little library there.

Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs is a 40-acre facility renowned for its tennis programs and tournament-ready amenities. The park boasts 25 lighted hard-surface tennis courts, seven lighted racquetball courts, basketball courts, and a sand volleyball court. In addition to recreational opportunities, it provides a playground, a shaded loop trail, and access to the scenic Seminole Wekiva Trail, offering visitors both athletic and outdoor experiences in Seminole County. It features a vast facility for tennis & other court sports, plus sand volleyball, pavilions & hiking trails.

This event aligns perfectly with AYLUS Orlando’s mission of environmentalism. By maintaining and beautifying local parks, we contribute to preserving natural spaces and ensuring that these areas remain safe and enjoyable for the community. Our commitment to regular cleanups reflects our dedication to fostering a cleaner, healthier environment. Each cleanup effort not only improves the immediate area but also raises awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship, inspiring others to take part in similar initiatives.

AYLUS has made other efforts through the adopt-a-location programs, such as the SR-419 Road they adopted through the Adopt-a-Road system, the Wekiva River they adopted through the adopt-a-river system, and the Sanford Boardward they adopted through the Adopt-a-Goat system. AYLUS hopes more people can come and help for their efforts.

This is the sixth cleanup. This event occurred on Jan 20th & Feb 2nd. These people participated in the park volunteer activity, two hours for each person: Dylan Wang (+ 1 hour Library Construction), Jason Wang (+ 1 hour Library Construction), Simon Gong, Victor Fang, Wendi Yang.
