Highlights from the Collection
From our Digital Branch: zinio
Browse all kinds of interesting magazines without having to come into the library, subscribe to them, or pay for them at the grocery store. All you need is your library card. We have more than 40 popular titles from Newsweek to Rolling Stone.
Reading a wordless picture book is a unique experience, challenging for parents, but a great way to engage your child's imagination. In this beautifully illustrated book, two friends follow a young fox deep into the woods and discover a wondrous and magical world.
You can find this book in our library or reserve it in our catalog.
Library Commission Meeting this Wednesday
No, it's not October, but one way you can get involved in your community is by attending this month's Library & Community Services commission meeting. Architects designing the new El Gabilan Library will give updates on the project in a presentation that you won't want to miss.
The Library Commission will meet this Wednesday at 6:00 pm in the City Hall Rotunda.
