find all the tools you need to participate in Summer Reading. 

Track your daily reading on the calendars here and collect prizes 

throughout the summer. Participants don’t need to worry about 

a minimum number of words or minutes. Make reading a joyful 

part of your summer vacation! 

This newsletter also features our entire calendar of events and 

programs in June and July. We invite all ages to start the summer 

strong by attending our Summer Reading Kickoff Party on 

June 1 at Buena Vista Branch Library, featuring live music from 

the Jazz Cartel. You won’t want to miss two great events in June 

celebrating the 100th anniversaries of The Walt Disney Company 

and Warner Bros., two major studios that have been 

instrumental in the history of Burbank and so much a part of 

defining American culture. 

In addition to the regular monthly programs you love, staff have 

added exciting opportunities for you to explore. Register for 

Kinder-Steps, an interactive program series to help prepare your 

child to start Kindergarten. Stop by History MAKERS each week 

and learn about a not-so-well-known historical figure through 

hands-on STEM activities. Attend a Creator Café for teens, 

featuring conversations and activities about the creative industry. 

Mindful Yoga for Families encourages school-age children and 

their families to improve their stress management skills together.
