“Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.”

Reading is the common thread for our two speakers in May. Their presentations will
focus on addressing spaces and programs that provide access for the magic that is
reading.
Annie Malley is branch manager of Half Moon Bay Public Library. She is coming to
talk to us about the progress and programs of our new library. At this time, the building
is expected to finish in June and moving in is scheduled for July. A grand opening
is planned in August. There is a bonus! Our branch has had a long-standing partnership
with our library and we are looking forward to using this beautiful new building for
many meetings in the coming years.
Elizabeth Schuck is a long time educator and Coastside resident. You may know Liz
from our community, through CUSD and Rotary. Liz is coming to speak to us about
The Big Lift. Information from this organization’s website states: “In 2013, San Mateo
county leaders made a bold commitment to help all our kids succeed and participate
in the booming Silicon Valley knowledge economy. This is a bold social venture that
aims to transform early learning. The Big Lift combines high-quality and connected
learning experiences from preschool to third grade. It offers programs to help close
the achievement gap and end summer learning loss.”
Both Annie and Liz have a lot to share with us, so don’t miss this meeting!
As children’s author, Patricia Palocco says, “Reading gives us some place to go
when we have to stay where we are.”
