WHAT'S NEW
Schaberg Branch Library's Early Learning Play Center    
We're just as excited as the kids that Schaberg Branch Library now has an Early Childhood Learning Center! Come play with us!  

The ECLC is designed by Burgeon Group, specialists in early-learning structures in public libraries. The interactive and literacy-rich environment is designed to encourage parents and children to play collaboratively.
 
A very heartfelt thank you is extended to the Redwood City Library Foundation for making it possible to have an Early Childhood Learning Center installation at each of the Redwood City Public Library locations - Downtown Library, Fair Oaks Branch Library, Redwood Shores Branch Library and Schaberg Branch Library.
BOOK CORNER
LGBTQ+ History Month 
   
Did you know it's LGBTQ+ History Month? We've created a history-rich reading list!
 
It's a good time to share information on a few San Mateo County LGBTQ+ organizations too:
 
San Mateo County Pride Center is the first ever LGBTQ+ community center in San Mateo County. Whether seeking behavioral health services or gathering in solidarity with others to share stories, build relationships, learn, grow, create, and heal together, LGBTQ+ individuals and communities throughout the Peninsula finally have a space to call their own!
 
Outlet , in Redwood City, empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth and builds safe and accepting communities through support, education and advocacy.
