We are officially in the lovely season of fall. Coming up this month in readalouds are books about trees and leaves, apples and pumpkins, spiders and bats, and Halloween. In California, October 14 is Indigenous Peoples Day, and throughout the United States we are also in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15). The library participates in these civic events by featuring stories, writers, and nonfiction topics from the diverse indigenous and Hispanic cultures--especially at this time, but also throughout the year.
The L.A. County Library has launched its annual bookmark contest, and I encourage all students (including middle- and high-school students) to enter. The PDF of the entry form is right below this post. Completed entries can be turned in online, by mail, or during a branch’s sidewalk service hours (see entry form for details). Whatever your student loves about books and reading, the bookmark contest is a way to express that enthusiasm creatively!
Our local Manhattan Beach public library branch is doing a great job of checking out physical books through sidewalk service. E-books and audiobooks are also easily downloaded, and anyone can get a digital card right away by submitting the online application.
The public library has adjusted its hours of service:
The Manhattan Beach Library has extended its Sidewalk Service and added Tuesday evenings until 7:00 PM. Sidewalk Service hours are Monday, Wednesday to Friday, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Phone Service: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM), Tuesdays from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM (Phone Service: 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
