Have you stopped in to the Brisbane Library lately? If not, you’re missing out. Here is some information on upcoming events in March. All are free and open to the public.
On Saturday, March 6, Andrew Gomez will be joining us for our Toddler Dance Party. This is an all-ages family event and will be taking place in the Library at 11:30 AM. Don’t forget your dancing shoes!
The San Mateo County Psychological Association will be presenting several lectures over the next few months at libraries throughout the county on various mental health topics. On Monday, March 8 at 7 PM, we will be joined by Dr. Jeffrey Bruno, who will discuss alternative holistic mental health therapies. This event will take place in the Community Center. For information on other lectures in this series, visit http://www.smcl.org.
Looking to get a jump start on your job search? The Employment Roundtable will feature five to seven Bay Area-wide employers, representing a wide variety of industries, and they will discuss their companies, corporate cultures, current/future career openings, and hiring processes. This event will take place in the Community Center on Tuesday, March 16 from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Local filmmaker Melissa Peabody will be joining us for a special screening of her award-winning film San Francisco: Still Wild at Heart, in which she explores the arrival of coyotes in our human landscapes and celebrates our urban wildlife populations. Following the film, Melissa will lead a discussion about the film and answer any questions. This event will take place at the Mission Blue Center on Friday, March 19 at 7:30 PM, and is best suited for adults and children ages 8 and up.
Are any of the children in your life feeling less than confident about reading? The Library has partnered with the Peninsula Humane Society for a special monthly event called Paws for Tales, in which kids can practice their reading skills in the company of friendly Pet Assisted Therapy dogs (and their handlers). These special dogs are at the Library on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM (the next event will be March 24). The PHS requires parents to sign a release form each time a child reads, so make sure a parent or guardian accompanies the reader. The minimum age to participate is 5 years old – we don’t want any disappointed girls or boys, so please bring only children ages 5 or up to this event.
Do you miss the Live at Mission Blue concerts? Then join us for a special concert by the duet Chanson du Soir, which consists of soprano Chelsea Camille and classical guitarist David Isaacs. This concert is co-sponsored by the San Mateo County Library and the City of Brisbane to thank the community for supporting our Live at Mission Blue concert series for the past six years. Live at Mission Blue has been the chief fundraiser for the Friends of the Brisbane Library, and assists us in presenting high-quality children’s and adult’s programs throughout the year. This free concert will take place at the Mission Blue Center on Friday, March 26 at 7:30 PM.
Finally, this month we will also be saying goodbye to Kelly Mackewicz, who has been with us at the Brisbane Library since 2000, first as a Library Aide and then as one of our Library Assistants. We wish her all the best as she embarks on her new adventures at the Foster City Library.
