This April SCPL is hosting a virtual reading program called "Spring into Reading." Participants track how many minutes a day they read and complete some fun activities to be entered into a raffle. All ages are welcome. A few lucky participants will win a gift card to a local merchant.
But don't forget to take care of yourself! Take a walk, remember to breathe, try journaling, meditate, read a good book or watch a good movie from our collection. You can find virtual exercise activities on our calendar. Thanks to our community and program partners for stepping up.
SCPL is looking for ways we can support teachers during this challenging time. If you have suggestions on ways we could help, please email k12@santacruzzpl.org
Comcast, Spectrum, Cox Communications, AT&T, and T-Mobile all offer free internet programs for a limited time during this Stay at Home order. Frontier and Human I-T both offer low cost internet connections as well.
