Good afternoon!
The City of Pleasanton Library and Recreation Department is beyond thrilled to welcome you back starting July 6! We invite you and your family to return to our facilities, participate in our many in-person programs this summer, and take advantage of the wide variety of on-site services.
With much of the pandemic behind us, vibrancy is returning to our community. Let us laugh, and play, and join together to share in new memories. We encourage you to take time for yourself and your family to enjoy a favorite recreational activity, pick up a new hobby or skill, or simply kick up your feet and dive into some summer reading. Whatever it is that brings you joy, we have programs, classes, and resources just for you. There has never been a better time to discover and explore the many opportunities available to you through Pleasanton Library and Recreation.
Big changes are coming to our various sites and programs starting July 6. Check out all the new and exciting updates taking place throughout the City, as well as the fun and entertaining programs coming this summer.
