Book to Action is an exciting program based on the classic book club concept with community service elements. This year Pacifica Libraries are reading Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash by Edward Humes. The Pacifica Libraries are hosting multiple fun and informative garbage themed programs and events for a variety of ages through March and April. It all ends with a day of action on Saturday, April 21st where community members are encouraged to volunteer at local clean ups organized by the Pacifica Beach Coalition, opens a new window.
