Baldwin Park Library promotes summer discovery program and free lunches for youth

The Baldwin Park City Council meeting on June 4 highlighted the launch of the Summer Discovery Program at the Baldwin Park Library, aimed at promoting independent reading among students of all ages. Irma Morales, representing the library, addressed the council, expressing condolences to Chief Lopez and the police department staff, and introduced the summer initiative that began on June 2 and will run through August.

Morales emphasized the program's accessibility, encouraging families to visit the library's website for details and to pick up a game sheet that allows participants to earn prizes as they read. Additionally, she announced a free lunch program for children and teens aged 18 and under, set to start on June 6 and continue through August. Lunch will be served daily from 12 PM to 1 PM at the Baldwin Park Library.

The council showed support for these community-focused initiatives, with discussions on potentially sharing programming details on the city’s website to further promote engagement. The Summer Discovery Program and free lunch initiative are expected to foster literacy and provide essential resources for local youth during the summer months.
