<br />Reina Barragan, President of the Library Board, spoke on behalf of the Redwood City <br />Public Library about their Family Author Night program which began in 2008 at Hoover <br />School. She spoke about the program's success in bringing together whole families, from <br />babies to grandparents, providing copies of a book for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, and <br />holding the program with the author present to sign autographs. She acknowledged the <br />Friends of the Library for their funding along with a grant from the American Library <br />Association that allows the program to continue an additional year and expand to six other <br />schools. <br /> <br />Mayor Foust and Council Members thanked Ms. Barragan for the meaningful update. <br /> <br />Rabbi Jay Miller thanked the Council and city staff for participating in a recent disaster <br />preparedness exercise.
