What's Happening for Salinas Public Library
Get Inspired! Get Going! Help Design Our Next Cards!
The Library and Community Services Department values community input and engagement, and we want your help in designing six new cards for users of our libraries and recreation centers. Our goal is to have TWO card designs selected in each category: kids, teen, and adult. The kids and teens cards will double as library cards and recreation cards. We plan to have new cards in time to celebrate "September is Library Card Month."
We're looking for designs that express how libraries and recreation centers make your life better or make Salinas a great place...
We want to hear from you!

We are excited to move to the next step in the design of the El Gabilan Library. Please help us by reviewing the following concepts and studies in how the site, building organization, building mass, and outdoor areas might be created based on different exciting options. We would like your input on the options. We are not selecting options but gathering feedback on each option. This information will be used to further understand the community’s thoughts and opinions for the next step in the design. We look forward to hearing from you!

Is R2-D2 in the House?
June 27, 2017
The Robotics program at Cesar Chavez Library has definitely captured the imagination of youth this summer. Working in teams of two, the participants are learning how to use Scratch-based coding to program their robots to follow simple commands like turning on lights, and using sensors to avoid obstacles. This popular two-week program is part of our Summer Reading Program. To learn more, contact Ernesto Lizaola, Community Education Manager, at (831)758-7229.
