Summer Reading registration opens May 1

Posted

Summer is almost upon us, and that means Summer Reading!  The theme this year is “Adventure Begins at Your Library,” and we hope you join us here at Long Beach Public Library for some family fun!  We decided to dig into the “vault” of past programming and repeat some family favorites.  Some will have a new twist; others will remain true to the original program. 

Online registration for all who plan to attend begins on Wednesday, May 1.  Schedules of all events will be available at that time, as well.  Programs begin on Saturday, June 1, at 10 a.m. with Family Movie Day. 

At the time of this writing, there are no scheduled meetings for the Long Beach Board of Trustees or the Friends of the Long Beach Public Library for the month of May.

Family Movie Day will be on Saturday, May 18, at 10 a.m. in the Children’s wing.

As a reminder to everyone, the library hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  We are open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.  On Saturdays, we hold our book sale.  Prices are ten cents each for magazines, twenty-five cents each for paperbacks, and fifty cents each for hardbacks, audiobooks and movies.

The library will be closed from Saturday, May 25, through Monday, May 27, for Memorial Day.  We will reopen on Tuesday, May 28, at 9 a.m.

For more information about any of our events or offerings, please give us a call at 228-863-0711. The library is located at 209 Jeff Davis Avenue.

We would like to thank you all for your continued support.  As always, thank you for your patronage, and stay safe!
