Grab your book, your goggles, and slip on your flip-flops! It's Memorial Day Weekend and time to celebrate summer with the Oceanside Library! Although our doors are closed, we are making a splash as we dive right in to our Summer Reading Program. We have so much fun coming your way. 

​On May 26, club members can start rating and reviewing their books right online. It's easy and fun! . Each rating will earn you a chance to win one of our exciting summer raffles. And don't forget our monthly online book club and other great online programs and events. There is something for everyone! 

So what are you waiting for? Jump right in - (the water is warm) - - and be a part of our Making Waves Book Club this summer.! 

First, congratulations to Bronna, our winner in this week's raffle! We have reached nearly 250 reviews since we started our Comfortably Connected Book Club in April. That is sensational! Thank you for participating and for being incredibly awesome during this time we are temporarily closed. We hope that you have enjoyed finding new things to read, listen to, and watch.
