• Massachusetts 'e-bike library' lets residents borrow cargo bikes free for a week before buying (thecooldown.com) — Brookline residents can now borrow a cargo e‑bike free for a week through Community Pedal Power's new Brookline Hills branch, letting you test everyday trips before committing to a purchase. Volunteers help match you to one of about 30 bikes, walk you through safety and battery basics, and say the program may expand further in town if demand and funding grow.
   

• Here's When Mosquitoes Will Go Away in Massachusetts (wbsm.com) — Brookline is currently listed among the Massachusetts communities at high risk for West Nile virus, so residents are urged to keep using repellent and covering up outdoors. The piece explains that mosquito activity usually drops off after the first hard freeze in October, but warns that warm, wet weather can extend their season and suggests simple steps to stay protected until then.
