New and Noteworthy for January

SCPL News

It may be cold in California, but there's plenty of activity at the library to keep us warm!

Grant from Target for Cuéntame un Cuento (Read me a Story)
In recognition of the efforts of the Santa Cruz Public Libraries to encourage early childhood literacy, Target has awarded us a grant that will support the library in expanding story time offerings to include a one-hour Spanish-language story time program at the Live Oak Branch on Mondays at 5:30pm.

Book Discussion Kits
We've improved access to our Book Discussion Kits. The 350 kits are now searchable by author, keyword, or title. You can also browse all kits by genre or by alphabatized by title. Take a look at the new and improved Book Kits Page.
