ITEM #5
1. The 2019 Summer Reading Adventure program for adults, teens, children, including
toddlers and babies, began on June 17 and will run through Aug. 11. This year's theme is
"A Universe of Stories," and the program has expanded from seven to eight weeks. This
is the second year where participants can record and track their progress on line, using
the Beanstack application. During the first four weeks of the Summer Reading
Adventure, nearly 3,000 readers have enrolled in the program. These readers have
already logged 575,191 minutes of reading! The most popular Summer Reading program
in June was the Party Puppet Show, where puppets danced and sang, encouraging the
kids to join the fun. Nearly 350 people total attended the show at all three library
locations.

5. Approximately 60 tutors, learners, family members, and friends enjoyed Literacy
Services' annual celebration on June 2 at the Carlsbad Senior Center. The event was held

included a slideshow of Literacy Services' events in the past year, followed by remarks
from Library & Cultural Arts Director Heather Pizzuto. Guests heard from tutors and
learners on how the literacy program has changed their lives. The program has given
learners the skills and confidence to pass the citizenship test, learn to write and to help
their children.

Project, Reading Around the World, kicked-off on June 18. The program gives children in
grades K-5 the opportunity to travel and explore six different countries around the
world through stories, music and crafts. The feedback from community members has
been overwhelmingly positive, with many parents commenting on the enriching
experience their children had attending the programs.
8. Several Learning Center staff traveled to the Los Angeles Public Library on June 5 to
learn about their drop-in tutoring program. The visit was funded by the California State
Library as part of an information-sharing program among literacy programs throughout
the state. Staff received a tour of the library, and Los Angeles Public Library staff shared
information about their successful programs. In addition, the California State Library
provided funding for two literacy program coordinators from California libraries to visit
the Carlsbad City Library Learning Center on June 28. Major topics of interest to the June
28 program participants were the Learning Center's marketing, tutor training and
assessment.
