WHAT'S NEW?
Big Lift Inspiring Summers
Congratulations to this year's Big Lift Inspiring Summers graduates! It was an honor to spend the session with these Roosevelt School 2nd grade students!
 
The Big Lift is a bold social venture intent on transforming early learning. The venture combines high-quality and connected learning experiences for San Mateo County preschool to third grade students. This early learning transformation is focused on literacy, reducing chronic absence and summer learning loss, as well as engaging families and the broader community to support both home and school learning.
 
Thank you to all our partners! Redwood City School District, County of San Mateo, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, BellXcel, San Mateo County Libraries, San Mateo County Office of Education 
 
Redwood City 4th of July Parade
The first week of July, the Library hosted a week long visit with our local Boys and Girls Club teens through Redwood City's Apprenticeship Program. The program introduced the teens to several departments of the City of Redwood City over the course of the summer. Their week with the library culminated in their participation in the Fourth of July Parade.  
 
If you didn't see the Library superheroes in the parade, take a look at our video on the Library Facebook page. The Peninsula Celebration Association awarded us with the first place prize in the "Community Group - Nonperforming" category. Look for us next year in the 2020 parade, the 82nd anniversary of Independence Day celebrations in Redwood City.
