The Santa Barbara Public Library invites parents and caregivers to the annual Community Baby Shower sponsored by Children's Resource and Referral of Santa Barbara County. The Community Baby Shower will take place on State Street, between Ortega and De La Guerra Streets, on Saturday, October 12, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. If you have recently welcomed-or are expecting-a baby, this special event is for you! Participants are invited to stop by anytime during this free event to learn about programs and services the library and partnering community organizations have to offer.
