Morongo Basin Spell-A-Thon is coming  Mark your calendar for March 25, 2023, get your team together, and brush up on your spelling. The Morongo Basin libraries are preparing to launch their second annual Spell-A-Thon. Registration forms and other materials ARE NOW AVAILABLE. Even if you don't want to spell, join the fun. Come root for your favorite team, check out the silent auction and take a chance on winning our major raffle prize, a beautiful oil painting by local artist Anne Lear called Joshua Trees.

Book Donations Requested for May Book Sale We will hold a book donation drop-off event on April 1 at the library on Adobe Rd. from 11 to 3 pm. We will accept gently used books, DVDs and audiobooks. Please no damaged books, encyclopedias or textbooks. (If the condition isn't good enough to loan to a friend we probably can't use it.) Simply drive to the south end of the library parking lot, drop off your books, and drive out. Donations will be used for our Spring book sale on May 13, 2023. Thanks to everyone who supports our fundraising events. Proceeds put more books on library shelves and offset the cost of the summer reading program. We can't do it without community support and we value yours!

Lots of Free Stuff Books, e-books, craft kits, story time, tutoring, literacy assistance, digital and in-person programs - they're all available at your local library for free. Stop in and talk to the staff or visit www.sbclib.org for the latest.

Digital Resources Did you know you can download books from the County's digital collection onto your tablet? You can also access many of the County's online databases and get a digital library card from the comfort of your home. Need to complete a job application or download or print a legal form, use the library's computers. Don't miss out. Visit our How To page for directions or the County Library site.
