STORIES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY
Have you tuned into our weekly series, Stories from Your Community on Tuesdays at 11am? Stories from Your Community is an ongoing series of recorded picture book readings from our friends and partners in the community. It’s a terrific way to meet members of your community as they share favorite picture books.

This week features our Traveling Storytime volunteers and next week, local band The Corner Laughers join us to read and sing some of their songs! Since the series began in May, we have recorded stories from friends such as Dragon Productions Theatre Company, Port of Redwood City, Zoppe Family Circus and our RCPL CARES team. Coming soon, look for stories from San Mateo County Pride Center, Redwood City Youth Advisory Board, and Redwood City Rotary Club.

You can find all the recorded stories here, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for announcements and links to the weekly stories.
