The Art of Fighting: Building Better, Stronger Relationships
Join us for a perspective-shifting conversation with acclaimed facilitator Priya Parker to discuss her groundbreaking new book, The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict.
In The Art of Fighting, Priya Parker explains that we can’t form and grow effective relationships without a fight. She rejects the idea that conflict is abnormal or that good groups don’t fight. All groups change and evolve; it’s because people disagree that good groups flourish. Register for the online event, Read more books about conflict management with your library card, Watch past author talks, If you can't attend live, register anyway and you'll receive a recording of the talk!

Preschool Storytime @ Alamitos
Preschool Storytime is designed especially for children ages 3-5 years old to give them access to opportunities that promote school success and build early literacy skills (what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write).
Preschoolers are encouraged to see themselves as readers through focused interactions with library staff who present imaginative stories to demonstrate pre-reading skills. Story sessions typically last 30-40 minutes and include stories, flannel boards, fingerplays, and big body movement activities.
Come spark your child's love of reading: talk, sing, read, write, and play with us! Upstairs in the Community Room. Stair access only.
