Morro Bay Library Events by Christine Johnson

Get ready for the Summer Reading Program!

"Dream Big. Read @ Your Library" is this year's theme for children up to fifth grade. Kids who read 10 books on their own or read 20 books with a friend by August 4 will earn a reward book of their choice and other fantastic prizes. This year's prizes include a beautiful canvas Cloud Star book bag featuring the work of local artists, as well as coupons for LEGOLAND, Tastee Freeze, IN n OUT, Performance Athletics and more. New this year - families with babies are invited to participate. Children under two who have 20 books read to them can "earn" a free board book! Read More   (Seriously! Read more. Words are brain aerobics and we could all be in better brain shape.)

As our world's most extreme recyclers, From War to Peace has decided to make the hippest, most meaningful jewelry created on our planet affordable to all in these challenging economic times. Two-thirds of all FWTP jewelry offerings will now retail for less than $30.
