My Path to Carlsbad
My Path to Carlsbad: Story Showcase
Submissions accepted March 1 - March 31. Stories on display at the Georgina Cole Library until April 30th
Storytelling has the power to change our assumptions, deepen our understanding of others’ experiences and connect us as a community. As part of this years’ Carlsbad Reads Together program, the Carlsbad City Library would like to create a special exhibit featuring stories of how your family arrived in Carlsbad. Stories will be artfully showcased in the Cole Library display case and shared on the Carlsbad Reads Together webpage through May 2023.
Share your story electronically or submit your story in person at the Information desk at any of our three library locations. Story stations will also be available at the Carlsbad Senior Center and Lola’s 7 Up Market & Deli during the month of March to collect submissions.
