Entirely updated from the original edition co-written with the late Jerry Schad, 50 Best Short Hikes is a new San Diego hiking classic! Book Discussion Group This month the group is reading is The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Join the discussion on Wednesday, September 26, at 6:30 pm in the Seminar Room. The book for October is Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Copies of these books are available at the circulation desk. "Where's Waldo" Teen Odyssey Did you join in the search for Waldo this summer, have the fun of finding him hiding somewhere at our Scripps Ranch Library, and earn the cute Waldo duck button plus a stamp in your passport? Incoming Teen Council officers, Haley Nguyen, Thanh-Nha Tran, Haley Sadler, and Freddie O'Hara, not only found Waldo at our Library, but also visited a number of other branch libraries together on their quest to bond as a team and learn more about our library system. They were impressed by the diversity of our libraries and how well used and enjoyed they are. They also took the opportunity to network with other Teen Councils. It's clear that our Teen Council has another great year ahead! Grace's Book Nook Shop at Grace's Book Nook, open Monday through Saturday during library hours, for great bargains on nearly new and gently used books—fiction and non-fiction—for readers of all ages and tastes, as well as CDs, DVDs, magazines, greeting cards, and duck food. The inventory is updated almost daily, so stop by often. We currently have an opening for a volunteer interested in covering a 2-1/2 hour shift—either weekly or on alternate weeks. Contact [gracesbooknook@srfol.org] to explore this and other volunteer opportunities with the Book Nook. Your tax-deductible donations of gently used books are always welcome and help support our Library. For library events, please allow extra time to park on Meanley Drive and walk up the paved and lighted walkway to the library.
