Long Beach launches summer recreation classes and reading program

Long Beach is gearing up for a vibrant summer, with a variety of community activities and programs designed to engage residents of all ages. The city encourages everyone to prepare for the season by signing up for affordable recreation classes, which cater to both outdoor and indoor interests. Residents can explore the full catalog online or visit the Parks and Recreation Department in person for more information.

In addition to recreational activities, the Long Beach Public Library is launching its Summer Reading Program from June 9 to August 9. Participants can earn incentives based on the number of books they read and enjoy free events throughout the summer. The first event kicks off at the Billy Jen King Library on June 14, featuring music and other entertainment.

Animal care services will also be active this month, hosting California's Pet Adoption Day on Saturday, June 7. This event offers a wonderful opportunity for residents to adopt a new pet, with all fees covered. For those interested in finding a furry companion, more details can be found at the Animal Care Services (ACS) office.

These initiatives highlight Long Beach's commitment to fostering community engagement and providing enriching experiences for its residents this summer.
