San Pedro Library 130th Birthday Celebration
2018-08-18 14:00 | San Pedro Library, 931 S. Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
130 years of library service! That is a whole lot of books checked out and programs
attended. The library holds a unique place within our community. It is one of life’s rites of
passage. One generation introduces the library to the next generation and before you know
it 130 years goes by. For well over a century the library has been the informational hub for
the families, working men and women, and school children of all ages in this lovely little
town known as San Pedro.
On Saturday, August 18, at 2:00 PM in the Phil Scott
Community room of the San Pedro Library we will be
celebrating this historic milestone. We hope you will join
us as we look back on our storied past while looking to
what the future holds for this institution known as the public library. It
would not be possible to trace the 130 year history into 400 words so
let me set the table for what I hope will be a fun and informative day.
We are excited to have Councilman Joe Buscaino in attendance!
Councilman Buscaino will address the audience and tell us what the library means to him. Library
Administration will also address and thank patrons, volunteers and staff for making the library the great
place that it is. We will also hear from library staff. Our Adult Librarian, Children’s Librarian and Young
Adult Librarian will all present a short piece that will be entertaining and informative. In addition, our
renowned Friends group is preparing a PowerPoint presentation that will cover much of the history of the
library. I (David Ellis, Senior Librarian) might also have a thing or two to say concerning our fine establishment.
As important as celebrating this milestone is to our staff, it is also a chance to once again thank you, the
library patron, for your unwavering support of the library. Everything that we do is done with you in
mind. The library is a vibrant learning center because you take advantage of the resources we offer. With
that in mind we hope you will come out on August 18 and give us a chance to thank you in person. Did I
mention there will be free cake?

Join us on the water for a floating oceanography lab! This hands-on trip will be aboard a specially equipped vessel where you’ll have opportunities to study some of the near shore animals. Learn about the fascinating world of plankton, animals that call mud their home and some of the fish that prefer the sandy bottom.
The trip starts with a “fish-eye” view of the underwater world living on and around the dock, which will be revealed by an underwater camera. Passengers will be able to watch this real-time ocean documentary featuring sea anemones, sea stars, tunicates, and fish via monitors on the boat.
Once the boat enters the harbor, a specialized net called an otter trawl will be set. Any fishes collected with this net will be placed in tanks on the boat giving passengers up close and personal looks at several types of flatfish, perch and croaker.
A trap will also be set on the ocean floor to try to catch sand bass, scorpion fish, crabs and other bottom-dwelling critters. Critters caught in the trap will be displayed onboard giving everyone a chance to touch some of the animals.
Pre-registration is required. Please call 310-548-7562 to reserve your spot today!
Member Price: $25, Non-Member Price: $30
