Every year, thousands of visitors enjoy the Central Coast and its historic, cultural and oceanic splendors. The Monterey Public Library provides local information, free Internet and wi-fi to our city's guests - and benefits from the tourism dollars spent in our community.

Three days ago, a very special finned visitor arrived at the Monterey Bay Aquarium - a young white shark - the second to be housed temporarily in the Outer Bay exhibit area. His power and grace are riveting.

As long as he's in good health, and under the Aquarium's care, we'll be watching him online, and wishing him well - and we'll make sure we have lots of white shark information to check out!
