May Birthdays

Some famous people were born in the month of May. Ian Fleming, author of the famous James Bond books was born May 28th, 1908. You might enjoy reading one of his books, or watching one of the James Bond films. Did you know he also wrote a children's book? Ian Fleming at the library.
John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States was born on May 29th, 1917. It's hard to believe he would be 92, in our minds he is always a young man. John F. Kennedy at the library.
Mel Blanc, who has brought us so many hours of laughter, was also born in May; May 30th, 1908, to be precise. Mel was the voice of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Tweetie Pie, Sylvester, Porky Pig and the Road Runner!

April Book Sale a Success!

Twice a year the Friends of the Pleasanton Library hold a book sale, one in Spring and one in Fall. The Spring sale raised a total of $20,180.07!!! These dollars go to the library through the Friends organization (you can become a member) and fund many of the music and author programs and the purchase of furniture, for example. If you have never been to the book sale, you will want to mark your calendar for the next one to be held September 25th, 26th and 27th. At the book sale you will find so many books! There are books on nearly every subject, lots of fiction, there are even dvds, videos and cds. All of these items are donated by the public. Our library patrons are awesome!
