The library will host author, Richard Carrico, on Friday, Sept. 27, at 2 p.m. Carrico’s book, Monsters on the Loose, details the unsolved murders of three women in San Diego in 1931.

On Sept. 30 at 3:30 p.m., join us for a very special Book and a Ballerina Storytime. A professional ballerina with the City Ballet of San Diego will read a story and teach some basic ballet dance steps. This program is a wonderful introduction to the world of classical ballet for kids.
