First Library Card

Does your pre-kindergarten child have a San Marino Public Library card? If yes, GREAT! If not, then come into the library and sign up for "the smartest card" your child can receive. All pre-kindergarten child and younger who come in with a parent to get a new library card will receive a special "First Library Card" packet that includes a bookmark, sticker, and a free book. For more information, please call the Girls & Boys Department at the San Marino Public Library.
