Tres Magnifique

Carlsbad Reads Together...what a hoot! It is when the entire community is invited to read a book, at the same time. This year's selection is My Life in France by Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme. Pick up a copy today and join in the fun! See below for events relating to the chosen work. There are several options and something fun for the whole family!

Carlsbad is an awesome city and how cool is it that opportunities like this draw us all closer as a community!

Happy reading!
