Felton Library Friends Summer Programs

Spread the word to your friends and neighbors about two wonderful series of programs for children at the Felton branch this summer.

  • Tuesdays 1:30-2:30 pm, from June 14 to July 26, the series "One World, Many Stories" will feature storytelling, dance, music, magic, and gardening (detailed listing below). The series is sponsored by Felton Library Friends, in partnership with the Santa Cruz Public Libraries Summer Reading Program and Felton New Leaf Community Market, with additional support provided by Renee’s Garden, Mountain Feed and Farm, and Camp Joy Gardens. 
     
  • Thursdays 10:15-11:30 am, from June 16 to July 28, "Ready, Set...Read," for children ages 0-5 and their parents, is an opportunity to "learn about learning."  Each participating family will receive a craft box, books, and a summer full of great ideas for family activities. A team of librarians, teachers, and community specialists will provide information about: Early Literacy and Reading, Speech and Language Development, Nutrition, Child Development, and Physical Fitness and Play. A full schedule for all the library branches (including Boulder Creek on Wednesday mornings) is posted at www.feltonlibraryfriends.org. The series is sponsored by the Santa Cruz Public Library and the County Office of Education.
