Upcoming events:
NEWS FROM THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY
Did you know that Friends of the Redwood City Public Library sell the honey made by our RCPL Bees? The bees make hundreds of pounds of honey each year, which are then harvested and jarred for sale! This batch is a delicious as ever. And to further sweeten the deal, all sales of honey and books from the Friends of the Library Bookstore benefit Library programs such as our Summer Learning Challenge.
