FRANK SARRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY
EDUCATION FOR ALL
A message from
Peggy Tseng,
Library Director
At Frank Sarris Public Library, we’re putting a “spring” in
our step as we prepare for our season of family-friendly
programming. I’m excited to announce that our popular
Trivia Night of the Round Tables event is scheduled for
Saturday, April 25. Teams compete for a cash prize with gift
cards raffled off throughout the evening. Each team can

be comprised of four to six players – a great opportunity to

play with friends, family or neighbors. Registration forms
are located at our main circulation desk, so pick one up today!
Our children’s staff is also getting ready for our summer reading program. The theme
of the 2020 summer reading program is “Imagine Your Story.” This year’s theme will
place a particular focus on children’s literature within the genre of fantasy. As always,
we hope that families will make Frank Sarris Public Library part of their summer plans.
Summer reading allows children to maintain their reading skills during the season and
helps them develop lifelong positive attitudes about reading, books, and the library.
As a reminder, our library offers access to apps that can be downloaded onto a
mobile device or tablet. On Flipster, you can read popular magazines including Time,
Reader’s Digest, and People. Libby is an easy way to borrow eBooks, audio books or
read-a-long books using Overdrive. Don’t forget about Kanopy, an on-demand film
streaming service. For more information, check out the Resources page on our website
at franksarrislibrary.org.
I’ll see you around town.
