A girl reads a book at Santa Monica Public Library's ‘pop up‘ beach library at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday, August 15, 2015. The beach library features a curated collection of books for readers of all ages, a Surfside Lounge to relax and grab some shade, and beach-themed activities for the whole family. Programs includes Seaside Story Time for Kids, hula dancing and hula hooping classes, nautical crafts, and our new South Beach Reads Book Group for adults. Librarians are on-hand to sign out books, answer questions and demonstrate cutting edge library apps, eBooks and streaming media. In addition, anyone signing up for a library card will receive a free Santa Monica Public Library beach tote. ‪#‎SMPLatTheBeach‬
