Summer is coming soon!  Once again, the Alameda County Library is offering a special Summer Reading Game to encourage children to keep reading during summer vacation. This year’s game is HAVE BOOK, WILL TRAVEL.  In addition to the Summer Reading Game, all branches (Albany, Bookmobile, Castro Valley, Centerville, Dublin, Fremont Main, Irvington, Newark, Niles, San Lorenzo, and Union City) will be hosting special programs (storytellers, puppeteers, etc) throughout the summer. For more information on the special library programs, contact your local branch or check our summer Blog, http://summereadingame.wordpress.com/

We will be having our annual Mutlicultural Potluck followed by Open House on Wednesday, May 22nd from 5:30-6pm (Open House is from 6-7pm).  Please see the attached flyer and return a copy to your child's teacher so that we can have an estimate number of families that will attend this fun event.  See you then!

Do you hear people talking about the Common Core Standards and you are not sure what they are talking about?  Do you know what they are but just want to learn more?  Scholastic has created a website for you to learn more about the Common Core and ways that you can help your child succeed as we change to these new academic standards.
