Today I definitely had the sense that Summer is coming - today our "June Gloom" seemed to be letting up a bit and there are hints of sunshine in the Park. The birds are out and there seems to be a lot of activity in the Park, and everyone seems to be attending graduations and talking about summer plans and summer time activities.
This time of year always means that things are about to get REALLY busy at the Library. Our Summer Reading programs are already gearing up - the Festival of Folktales is our official launch on June 29, when the library turns into a amazing story telling arena. Summer Reading always marked the real beginning of summer for me when I was young. It does so even more now, as a librarian.
Our Summer Reading programs are looking really good this year - the theme is Water and we plan all kinds of educational programs on water conservation and the oceans. It couldn't be more timely with the Gulf Oil spill and the ongoing water issues in California. As a beach city, water plays a central role in our lives. Come on in and make a splash and a few waves with us!
Everyone can participate - we have reading programs for children, Teens and Adults.
