Summer Reading Festival“Paws to Read” Unleash the Reader in You! June 9–August 16
Voracious readers can wrangle, wrestle, and capture creatures of a different kind at their local library with “Paws to Read,” Contra Costa County Library’s Summer Reading Festival, June 9–August 16. From adventure to science fiction, the animal kingdom charges into all libraries this summer to unleash incredible stories and wild events.
Untamed imaginations take off during Kids’ Summer Reading where children ages 2 through 5th grade can immerse themselves in exciting books, fun crafts, and entertaining performances. Students in grades 6–12 roar into local libraries this summer with exhilarating prizes and activities with Teen Reading! Parents and caregivers of babies from birth to 2 years are also encouraged to participate and earn prizes with early literacy-building activities for Baby Reading. Join the stampede, Adults, for a chance to win a Booklover’s Bag and county-wide prizes by submitting a book review online at ccclib.org or at your local library!
Busy Bee Dogs will be our Summer Reading kickoff program on Saturday, June 14 at 3:30. This wagging troupe of formerly homeless dogs are sure to entertain the whole family with their tricks, silly comedy and amazing stunts.

Rainforest Adventures Entering Grades K–5 Jim Bartleman, Program Director Welcome to the Rainforest Adventures! Our program, taught by some of the finest teachers in Orinda’s school district, has featured a high quality summer enrichment experience for Orinda’s school children for almost three decades! Join us for Summer Enrichment 2014 as we take a ‘Run Through the Jungle’ to study one of the world’s most interesting and yet least understood places: the Rainforest! Even though they contain more than half of the world’s plants and animals, we are just beginning to explore and understand these amazing places that are home to amphibians, birds, insects, mammals, plants and reptiles that are truly astonishing—such as butterflies with an 8 inch wingspan, plants that build structures to water themselves (bromeliads) ants that cut leaves to build structures, unbelievably beautiful orchids, and fascinating versions of monkeys, song birds, cats, dolphins, frogs and snakes. Spend a busy summer with us as we make models of many of the above creatures and plants and learn the cultures of native peoples and those who live nearby. As always, we will build, paint, draw, cartoon, write about, craft, sing, dance, learn languages and math as we journey from high in the rainforest’s canopy, down through the understory, and then to the forest floor. Be wildly enriched on our expedition through one of the world’s most captivating places! For those interested in staying for an afternoon sports program, we now offer a lunch transition ‘lunch bunch program’.
Location: Sleepy Hollow Elementary
Kindergarten Program: The Gentle JungleA self-contained 3-hour class.

Jungle-themed activities in writing, math, science, beginning reading skills, music and art, and featuring very up close looks at butterflies, frogs, bugs, monkeys, birds and jungle-y plants! All woven together in a visual and performing arts style! The vast new ‘jungle’ of the school world welcomes you!

Art Plein Air: Painting from Life Workshop Ages 18Y and up Jeanette Le Grue The goal of this workshop is for you to learn to SEE the abstract design essential for every good painting. Plan your painting and then paint your plan. Jeanette will show you how to simplify your painting to capture the essence of the subject. She is a gifted hands-on teacher. Through lectures, demos and individual daily critique, each student will grow in their abilities and discover their own strengths. You will be painting all prima, the direct approach: seeing the big shapes, and relationships of grays to color. You will learn the importance of observation rather than the use of formulas, and to paint what you actually see and feel. Explore composition, design, value and color harmony, brushwork and edges. Jeanette Le Grue has studied with master painter Don Ricks (protégé to the Russian colorist Sergei Bongart). Jeanette shows her work nationally, in galleries and museums and has won numerous awards. No refunds will be given unless your spot can be filled.
