upcoming programs at the pv library
There are 3 upcoming programs at the Portola Valley Library for our community.
1) Say No to Boredom over Winter Break!
Our Winter Learning Challenge begins on Monday, December 11th, 2017 to Tuesday, January 16th, 2018. This year will be similar to years past where youth from ages 0-18 are encouraged to read/listen to books and participate in activities, tracking their progress in reading logs, and turning it into the library prize books and a chance to win a prize!
This year our youth 0-5th grade will have a chance to win museum passes to the SJ Tech Museum. Teens 6th grade - 12 grade will have a chance to win a portable Bluetooth speaker or Polaroid OneStep2 camera.
2) Food for Fines
Clear library fines while providing food to those in need! Bring non-perishable food items into our library and applicable fines/fees will be waived. Please contact the library for donation guidelines. All food will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank and will be delivered to low income people in need in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties.
3) Family Movie Night
Friday, December 15, at 5:30 PM
All ages are welcome!
Start the holiday season with a trio of classic favorites. Believe in magic with Frosty the Snowman (48 minutes, TV-G), feel warm and fuzzy with A Charlie Brown Christmas (25 minutes, Not Rated), and sing “Dah who dor-aze” with the Whos in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (26 minutes, Not Rated). Pizza and popcorn provided.

Each week, students learn about theatre through well-loved theatre games and creative acting exercises. These young actors also rehearse a short play that is performed at the end of the 10 week session for family and friends. Our winter theme is A Greener Earth. Actors will explore stories that require them to roll up their sleeves and make the world a better place! Classes start the week of Jan. 22nd.
