Summer reading program kicks off with a trip back in time
–Join the Library Book Group’s Zoom discussion of “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi on Wednesday, June 16, from 7- 8 p.m. and kick off this year’s Summer Reading Program, “Reading Colors Your World.”
In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully-brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee the chance to travel back in time. Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the café in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn’t so simple and there are rules that must be followed. Most importantly, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. “As we look at how reading can color our world, we will explore literature related to three areas. This month we visit Japan!” says Adult Services Librarian Karen Christiansen.
–Learn a new skill or improve your crafting abilities with the Paso Robles City Library’s online craft series. In keeping with our May theme of strength, this month they are creating a felt bear – a symbol of strength and confidence – and who can’t use more of those qualities? Using hand sewing techniques, embroidery, and quality wool felt, create a realistic folk art bear to remind you of your strength or to give to someone who needs a boost. The class will be held as a Zoom meetup on Thursday, May 27 from 7-8 p.m.
Space is limited. Registration is required with a library card for each participant to receive craft materials and Zoom meetup information. The registration deadline is May 14. The class is designed for ages 16+.

In keeping with March’s theme of “Happy out,” this month’s craft is an attractive macramé plant holder. Not a plant person? Insert a pot in the macramé holder and use it for a small catch-all! This project utilizes lark’s head, square, wrapping, and double half hitch knots. This craft will appeal to intermediate crafters, but beginners who don’t mind a challenge will also enjoy creating this appealing plant holder.
