San Diego County’s ‘Summer at Your Library’ Has Activities for All Ages – And to Beat Heat

San Diego County libraries are offering numerous activities this summer for residents looking for fun or just to stay cool, according to a news release Thursday.

For “Summer at Your Library,” various library branches will feature music, puppet and magic shows, puzzle time, a Lego Lab, a “teen escape” room, gaming, board games, arts and crafts and T-shirt decorating.

Library branches offer story time – some events with dancing – for babies, toddlers and older children.

The library’s year-round activities include book clubs, concerts, Tai Chi, tech classes, writing groups and yoga. All classes and programs are free, according to the county.

While residents of all ages can participate, the Summer Learning Program is geared toward children and teenagers, and available at all 33 county library branches.

Youth who participate can win achievement badges and prizes.

County libraries also offer an air-conditioned refuge during hot summer days, along with free WiFi.

Visitors also may sign up to use a desktop PC or check out a book, audiobook or movie (with a library card).
