Happy May Modesto! I can’t believe May is already here! It seems like this year has been flying by. This is a special month for me because I will be graduating high School! I am excited for Summer, but I want to soak up my last memories as a high schooler this month.
The Scholastic Book Fair began April 26th, but don’t worry, you still have time to go! The in person store closes the 3rd of May. The online store will be open until May 9th. This is a way to buy new books for a low cost. The book fair is located in our very own Stanislaus County libraries basement auditorium. This is a wonderful opportunity to get books for kids and teens. There will also be a “Friends of the Modesto Library” book fair which will be hosting a used book sale on May 4th. It will be open from 8am-2pm. FOML uses the profits to support and augment the mission of the Modesto library. Be sure to check it out!
One of the best days of the year is approaching us. May the 4th be with you! If you didn’t know, Modesto goes all out when it comes to celebrating the national Star Wars day. Everyone dresses up as their favorite star wars characters or wears Star Wars merchandise. Characters will be there to take awesome pictures with. There will be lot’s of fun activities and games for kids to play. Different bands will be performing as well! This year there will be a special guest Andrew C Nelson the actor who spent more time in the Darth Vader suit than any other. This is a fun and positive community celebration that you do not want to miss out on.
I hope everyone has an amazing May, and May the 4th be with you!
