Arroyo Seco Open House

The Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Library is holding an Open House on Saturday, November 12.  Everyone is invited to come on by for any (or all) of the interesting events we have planned as well as to check out the library and all of the resources we have to offer.  The days’ events include:

A Community Bike Ride with the Book Bike at 10:00

Any rider under the age of 18 must have a parent present (to sign release waiver) either on the day of the ride or at the Library prior to the ride beginning.   All riders under age of 18 must wear a helmet as required by law.  All riders under 15 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.)

Friends of the Library Book Sale from 10:00-12:00
Stop by for the first Friends book sale we’ve had in a while and find some lovely (cheap) bargains to add to your collection.  While you’re here see about signing up for the Friends group yourself….  so we can have even more book sales, as well as other activities, in the future.
