Happy holidays to you and yours! We hope you will celebrate the season with us at these upcoming fun events.
Sustainable Saturday with I Love a Clean San Diego is tomorrow from 9 a.m. until noon! There are several ways to participate. You can volunteer to clean up Alpine. Arrive at 9 a.m., grab supplies, and help to protect the San Diego River Watershed. You can take part in our Clothing Swap. Bring gently used clothing to exchange for new-to-you items! You can bring an old glass jar or container with you, and create a DIY holiday gift! Learn more at cleansd.org/events.

As the weather has cooled off, it is the perfect time of year to learn how to knit or crochet. Our Crafters’ Paradise group meets every Wednesday from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. They will teach you and provide free yarn! This is a wonderful opportunity to pick up a new skill that can busy the hands and relax the mind.
All library events are always free and open to the public. Open the attached events calendar for a complete schedule or visit sdcl.org/alpine.
See you at the library!
