At long last, in-library events are back!
We are thrilled to announce that on March 1, 2022 we will begin to have indoor events at all Redwood City Public Library locations. It’s been nearly two years since we first closed our doors to events due to the COVID-19 pandemic and next month we will begin to host storytimes, activities and programs inside our libraries! Over these difficult 2 years, our staff brought our community innovative recorded, virtual and outdoor programs. We will continue to offer events online for those who can’t make it to our live programs. Check our calendar for in-person and virtual programming here.
While the pandemic is still a concern for our community, our safety measures provide a safe environment for you to gather. To attend our events or visit our libraries, masks are strongly recommended for all visitors and masks are required for unvaccinated individuals over age 2. We also ask that you maintain 6 feet distance from others inside and outside our libraries.
In March, here is a sampling of the programs happening within our libraries:
See you at the Library!

¡Por fin, eventos adentro de la regresan!
Nos da mucho gusto anunciar que empezando el 1 de marzo de 2022 tendremos eventos adentro de las ubicaciones de la Biblioteca Pública de Redwood City. ¡Han pasado casi dos años desde que cerramos las puertas para eventos debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 y el próximo mes empezaremos a realizar horas de cuentos, actividades y programas adentro de nuestras bibliotecas! Durante estos últimos 2 años difíciles, el personal ha presentado programación innovadora grabada, virtual y al aire libre a nuestra comunidad. Revise nuestro calendario para eventos en persona y virtual aquí.
Mientras la pandemia siga preocupando a nuestra comunidad, nuestras medidas de seguridad proveerán un ambiente para que se reúnan. Para asistir a nuestros eventos o visitar nuestras bibliotecas, se recomienda encarecidamente el uso de mascarillas para todos los visitantes y se requiere el uso de mascarillas para los mayores de 2 años no vacunados. También les pedimos que se mantenga 6 pies de distancia de los demás adentro y afuera de nuestras bibliotecas.

Valentine’s Day is about love and one little girl wanted to show her love for the library by donating her Tzedakah (weekly charity) money to the library. Juniper, age 4, is shown here presenting her donation and a hand-made card to Redwood City Library Foundation Director Lisa Hicks-Dumanske. Juniper loves going to the library to find new books and check them out with her own library card! She loves the library so much that she wanted to support it. THANK YOU, Junie! You too can support the library by donating to the Redwood City Library Foundation at https://www.rclfdn.org/donate. We are grateful that there is love of the library at all ages!
