Oh, man, now that's a bookmobile.

Today was one of our awesome kids Summer Reading events, the Reptile Show with Jungle James Animal Adventures. Or as some like to call it, Gigantic Snake Day. Photo taken from the safety of the library.

Librarian wins a sports car by occult means, then runs over a demon in it.

P.S. Time to read Shagduk and Ursula of Ulm again. Krolok will be upon you before you can say "Hail to him who knows my name."

The recently passed state budget does not include money for the Zip Books program. The State Library would very much have liked to continue administering this successful and popular program that ensured everyone could access library materials quickly, no matter where they live or how hard it is to travel to the library. Since 2016 when the program shifted to a statewide opportunity, well over 350,000 books were provided to Californians and their local libraries.

Fortunately, Sausalito Library has its own Pika Books program, which does the same thing Zip Books did. Check it out!

The only two things in life that make it worth livin' is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women. What was true in Luckenbach, Texas in 1977 is surely true in San Antonio in 2084. But something else is going on at the Branchett Memorial Hospital...

The new batch of Leisure Collection magazines are here! New, vintage, international, oddball--all a little taste of something different outside of the scope of our regular periodicals collection (the largest in Marin County, btw). In the background we see some choice new mysteries and SFF novels, and next to that, our new New Large Type books which are already flying off the shelf.

What does it mean to belong somewhere and what happens when you write about it? Join us at the Sausalito Public Library at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, for a conversation with three local authors whose books explore life between cultures. Inga Aksamit, Erin Van Rheenen, and Joanna Choi Kalbus write memoir, fiction, and personal history, bringing very different answers to questions of displacement, home, and the craft of capturing a world that isn't quite yours anymore.

Inga Aksamit is an award-winning author, adventurer, and former oncology nurse. Raised in Pakistan, Peru, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and California, her third-culture childhood inspired Between Worlds: An Expat’s Quest for Belonging. She also wrote Highs and Lows on the John Muir Trail and The Hungry Spork. She attended high school at Sir Francis Drake (now Archie Williams HS) and now splits her time between Sausalito and Sonoma.

In Erin Van Rheenen’s new novel, You Could Be Happy Here, a California woman goes in search of her biological father in Costa Rica. The story draws from Erin’s time in that country, during which she wrote Living Abroad in Costa Rica and The Manatee’s Big Day, a bilingual children’s book. She has also lived in Nigeria, Ireland, Mexico, Ecuador, and Guatemala. Her work has been featured in Bellevue Literary Review, Atlas Obscura, BBC Travel, The Sun, and Best Women’s Travel Writing.

Joanna Choi Kalbus was born in North Korea. She made two critical migrations from North Korea to South Korea after the Communist takeover, and then to the United States as a ten-year-old during the Korean War. She pursued her education in the United States, obtaining a Ph.D. in Educational Administration, and has been involved in education for thirty-five years. The Boat Not Taken is her first book.

No need to register; just show up!
