“The Solana Beach Library is excited to offer a great afternoon of celebration including music, dance, and art, as well as activities with our park rangers. There is something for every community member,” said Kathleen Sullivan-Long, Branch Manager Solana Beach Library. “We are bringing the best of our programming to mark 100 years of library services in Solana Beach.”
In order to keep waste to a minimum for the event, we kindly ask that guests bring their own water bottles.
Friends of Solana Beach Library hopes you join us in honoring our past and looking forward to our future. Friends of Solana Beach Library thanks the community that has supported library services in Solana Beach for the past 100 years.
