ANNOUNCEMENTS     

Beginning Friday, June 10^th, we encourage all to join in the fun and register for this year’s Summer Reading Program. The theme, Read Beyond the Beaten Path, celebrates reading, but also encourages us to get back outside and enjoy all that is offered to us. As in previous years, participants will sign up using Beanstack to keep track of their reading progress. The library will also offer many fun activities for kids and adults alike to engage and be inspired. To register, please click here. The program runs through August 6^th. For additional questions, please contact the Reference Desk at 310-524-2728 or refdesk@elsegundo.org.

These musicians have played on hundreds of movie soundtracks and have appeared in movies, commercials and famous tv shows. Bring you beach blankets, lawn chairs and picnic and join us for a delightful afternoon! Please contact the Reference Desk at 310-524-2728 for additional information.
