Let’s celebrate all of the awesome reading you did this summer with a party! Join us for a fun-filled afternoon of games, crafts, face painting, ocean sensory bins, photo ops and more!

You'll be able to take home a free copy of the latest award-winning children’s book from Seven Seas Press, Makana by Janet Lucy, who will be holding a book signing and chatting with young readers during the event.

Be sure to stop by the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum table to learn about the ocean and receive free museum passes! A special guest from UCSB H.E.A.R. will also be sharing books and activities about treating animals with compassion. You won't want to miss the amazing Ice in Paradise polar bear mascot, too!

While you're at the party, pick up your final Summer Reading prizes and enter your tickets into the prize drawings which will be held the first week of August!

Thank you to the Friends of the Goleta Valley Library and the many generous sponsors of this year's Summer Reading Program for their support of our readers.
