Book to Action
Between now and mid-June, the Goleta Valley Library has a number of activities centered around the fascinating book “Ocean Country” by Liz Cunningham. The author was an avid surfer who was temporarily paralyzed in a surfing accident. This led to constant illness and depression. In order to cope, Ms. Cunningham decided to travel the world, finding out what different communities were doing to combat ocean pollution. This very hopeful book will be the center of our Book to Action program, sponsored by the California Center for the Book. The Library is giving away free copies of the book and hosting the following activities:
