Books are just the beginning this summer at the Corte Madera Library. Come by the branch to pick up an Adventure Journal to keep track of your reading and other activities. We'll be hosting weekly LEGO clubs, fun retro camp crafts, a programming camp, a marble run engineering challenge, events for teens, and more! But let's talk about books again: stop in for booklists and recommendations for all ages, and ask about getting help with downloading ebooks and audiobooks for those road trips and long flights!

FREE public transit for kids and teens transforms the North Bay into a summer playground.

SMART, Marin Transit, Sonoma County Transit, Santa Rosa CityBus, and Petaluma Transit are offering free rides for K-12 youth throughout the summer (June-August) with the Summer Youth Ride Free Program.

How it works: No passes are necessary to ride, simply show a valid K-12 school or government-issued ID to the conductor when boarding the train or bus. Youth grades 9-12 may use a school ID from the Spring 2023 semester. Youth grades 8 and under, if asked, may present a school ID, or simply tell the conductor their grade and which school they attend. Younger children, under age 5, also ride for free but must be accompanied by an adult.
