🌊 Discover Learning, Creativity, and Connection at the Pacifica Libraries

If you’ve ever driven down Palmetto Avenue, you’ve seen the bright mural that spells out Pacifica in bold colors. It’s a cheerful reminder of how much personality this coastal town packs into a small space. Just down across the street, Pacifica Sharp Park Library offers that same kind of creative energy. It’s in the form of books, art, and community.

Every week, the Pacifica Library hosts free or low-cost events that blend learning with laughter. You’ll find:

  • Storytime for little ones, complete with songs and crafts.

  • STEAM projects for curious kids and pre-teens.

  • Author talks and book clubs that connect readers of every age.

  • Art, music, and cultural programs that spotlight local talent.

The library calendar is packed with workshops and classes designed to help residents explore new interests. From gardening and digital literacy to language lessons and creative writing.

✋ Unexpected Fun: Henna Art

I was excited to drop by for a henna design. the other day I walked out with the most beautiful design swirling down my hand. The artist was a pro! Fast and perfect. She had a book of designs to choose from. I asked her to pick the one she wanted to do.

Everyone waiting chatted like old friends. It was moment that was small but special. I walked out with a design and a smile.

🌺 These Events Matter

In a coastal town where neighbors know each other by name, the library acts as a meeting place for all ages. It’s where kids from IBL land after school, people learn new tech skills, and kids gather for story time and singing.

Sharp Park Library has created one of the best places for both community and learning.
