Monthly LIBRARY Report
for
September 2019
Systemwide …
September was National Library Card Sign-up Month and children who showed their library
card could select a reward from a treasure chest. More than 100 children showed staff their
library cards. A special beach-themed children’s library card was also launched in September to
encourage families to get their young ones their first library card. A new early literacy initiative
for newborns was launched in September as well. New parents can visit a children’s service
desk to receive a baby book bundle to help promote the importance of early literacy, including
a book bag, board book, information about the library, and a pre- and post-survey. Parents will
receive a second book if they return their survey.
Approximately 150 people enjoyed a Night at the Library, the Carlsbad Library & Arts
Foundation’s annual fundraiser to support Library & Cultural Arts Department facilities and
programs. Attendees at the Sept. 21 event enjoyed a pre-show reception, a performance by
singer-dancer Elijah Rock, dinner and dessert in the library, and dancing.
CCL, Dove Lane …
Sept. 19 was a big day for after-school programming at Dove Library. In addition to hosting
Captain Book in the Gowland Meeting Room for Talk Like a Pirate Day, the library concurrently
held Paws to Read in the Children’s Garden. A total of 85 children and adults attended the two
programs. In addition, the Baby Rhyme Time program has been attracting capacity crowds of
more than 30 attendees during the month of September.
The library hosted Carlsbad residents Drs. Steffanie Strathdee and Thomas Patterson for a
discussion about their book, The Perfect Predator: A Scientist's Race to Save her Husband From
a Deadly Superbug. Fifty-five attendees were riveted by the presentation at the Sept. 26 event
as they also learned more about the researchers’ work at UCSD to save lives around the
country.
The library was honored to host American war hero, founder of the Navy's Top Gun fighter pilot
school and author Dan Pedersen at the Schulman Auditorium on Sept. 28. Not only were there
more than 100 fans in the audience, but we were honored to also host about 20 military
veterans. As the veterans gathered together on the stage after the event, the audience gave
these heroes a standing ovation in gratitude for their service to our country.
Georgina Cole …
Popular youth programs at Cole in September included the Sept. 24 Tuesday Afternoon
Adventures program for children featuring Farley the Fiddler Presents Johnny Appleseed,
attended by 82 people. Retired Disney fiddler Gary Francisco told the story of Johnny Appleseed
by playing historic tunes with different instruments such as the fiddle, guitar, harmonica, banjo,

and spoons. On Sept. 30, tweens had a fiesta to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Eighteen tweens made papel picado mats, played games popular in the Latino community and
enjoyed special snacks.
Despite the rain, 15 attendees participated in Grow Your Garden on Sept. 28. Swap tables
offered succulents and seeds, and a community partner assisted with the presentation on
preserving your garden crops.
The library received a large anonymous donation of approximately 24 banker’s boxes of
genealogy books on Sept. 20. About two boxes of materials will be added to the library’s
Genealogy collection, two boxes were given to the Friends, 16 boxes went to the North San
Diego County Genealogical Society, which may be donated to the Paradise Genealogy Society,
and four boxes were recycled. Learning Center …
Weekly programming resumed on Sept. 2 after the summer hiatus. All Star Readers Club, an
after-school reading club, started their meeting with nine children. Preschool and all ages
storytime programs featuring stories in English and Spanish as well as crafts were well attended
by 262 children.
Community Outreach Supervisor Lizeth Simonson was honored as an Espiritu de la Comunidad
recipient by Latino Literacy Now for her work serving others in need while solving key issues
that confront communities. The award was presented to Lizeth at the Sept. 28 Latino Book and
Family Festival at MiraCosta College.
In anticipation of Community Outreach Supervisor Lizeth Simonson’s retirement in October,
Lizeth participated in an hour-long interview on Sept. 30 to capture her oral history of the
Centro de Información, the city’s first bilingual library, and the opening and early years of the
Library Learning Center. Carlsbad History staff are working on transcribing the hour-long
interview to save it to the collection for future posterity.
The Mariachi Divas Trio entertained children and adults with an hour-long concert in
celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 23. They performed music from the movie
Coco and pleased the audience of more than 70 with song requests. The evening also included a
short tribute to and comments from Lizeth Simonson on her nearly 29 years of service.
Outreach and Community Connections …
Librarian Missy Shaw presented a storytime about books and going to the library to two classes
of kindergartners totaling 60 children at St. Patrick Catholic School on Sept. 5.
During the month of September, library staff hosted several library visits from local schools.

Latino Book and Family Festival at MiraCosta College on Saturday, Sept. 28. The library booth
was visited by 307 people and staff answered 38 questions.
After a summer hiatus, library staff resumed visits to the La Posada Homeless Shelter in
Carlsbad. Staff issued eight new library cards to shelter residents, collected several surveys and
promoted library programs and services.
In September, the Books To Go team started the month with a visit to the Carlsbad Senior
Center, where staff interacted with 75 attendees on Sept. 17. On Sept. 19, staff provided
preschool storytimes for three local preschools to nearly 100 children. And on Sept. 25, staff

applications and handed out more than 100 books and other giveaways.
