Just For Kids




August is almost here and the children's librarians are winding down and reflecting on the Summer Reading Program. We hope you enjoyed all our programs and events this past June and July! We were thrilled to see so many families at our library and parks this year. Don't forget to keep logging your books this summer. Award books and prize drawing entries are still available at the Children's Information Desk through Aug. 31. And if you haven't signed up yet, you still have until the end of August.

 

Scroll down or visit our calendar [ https://www.library.sunnyvale.ca.gov/events/calendar-month-view ] to view more programs happening in August.

 

All our best,
"Your Librarians"
