The San Bernardino County Library (SBCL) invites residents to have a ‘splash-tastic’ time at several local libraries for our Under the Sea events during the month of August. Cool down and enjoy an amazing experience with fun-filled crafts, face painting, balloon artists, and games while browsing for books, magazines and more.
Visitors should bring their library cards, as every 15 items checked out during the events earns visitors a fun incentive and an opportunity drawing ticket for a chance to win awesome prizes.
All activities are free and open to all ages. Throughout the month of August, every 30 items checked out, customers will receive a special Under the Sea incentive, magic sand!
