Library custodian recognized for cleaning fireworks mess
A custodian from the Bay Ridge Library was honored for cleaning up a big fireworks mess outside the branch after the Fourth of July.
Brooklyn Public Library custodian Eddie Rodriguez went to work at the library at 7223 Ridge Blvd. on July 5 and saw a huge mess over the drain on the property.
“That was the first time in the six years that I’ve been at that particular branch that after the Fourth of July there was such a mess,” Rodriguez said. “It seemed that everyone happened to congregate on that corner with their fireworks and then just left. There was a mountain of powder, paper rings, debris. It was difficult to pick up.”
