Summer Stride Guide - San Francisco Public Library

Transcription

May 7 – August 14, 2016
Welcome
Instructions
Dear Families,
Summer is a time for fun and exploration. It’s also important to practice your reading skills. Children who read during
the summer increase their reading abilities and are ready to start the next school year, while children who do not read
can hit a summer slide and need to work extra hard to catch up when school starts. San Francisco Public Library plays an
important role in the summer when schools are closed and young people need safe spaces and learning activities.
The library’s Summer Stride: Read. Create. Explore program encourages students to track their reading time and to
stop by their neighborhood library for books, comics, ebooks, audiobooks, and more. Every book on the San Francisco
Unified School District Summer Recommended Reading List can be found at the San Francisco Public Library!
And while you’re visiting your neighborhood library, stay for one of more than 500 learning and exploration programs
for the whole family, like LEGO robotics, engineering, magic, crafts, shuttles to our local national parks, summer films,
and more.
We hope you have a great summer reading, creating, and exploring San Francisco!
SIGN UP at any library or bookmobile.
Sincerely,
READ 15 hours to earn a Reading Ranger Badge or Summer Stride

Superintendent of SFUSD
Tote Bag. Use the printed Tracking Tree to record your time and earn
stickers. Summer Stride is inclusive – all reading, listening and

This Bridge Will Not Be Gray
by Dave Eggers and Tucker Nichols

The Stories of Juana Briones: Alta California Pioneer
Wanderlust: A History of Walking by Rebecca Solnit
by Glenda Richter and Della Heywood
This book recounts the story of a woman whose family members
were among the first Hispanic settlers to come to California,
establishing ranches and helping to build missions.
What does it mean to be out walking in the world, whether in a
landscape or a metropolis, on a pilgrimage or a protest march?
In this book, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories—of
anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths—
to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic
act.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
After 20 years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself

Curious Liam discovers a hidden garden in a city where everyone
spends all of their time indoors. With careful tending, the garden
spreads color throughout the gray city.
Follow one child/tree from the depths of Earth to the stars, in

the freedom to grow and our relationship with the natural world.
Look for little free libraries at these
sites in the Golden Gate National Parks,
then take a book—or leave a book
to launch someone else’s adventure.

About the Artist
Acknowledgements
Meet Summer Stride Artist Christian Robinson, winner of the 2016 Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Illustrator
Honor awards for Last Stop on Market Street (G.P. Putnam’s Sons). Mr. Robinson lives, works, and plays in the Mission. His
book Leo: A Ghost Story (Chronicle Books), about a boy ghost’s quest to find family, friends, and a place to belong, inspired
the art for the San Francisco Public Library’s Summer Learning program, an annual partnership with Chronicle Books. Get
to know Mr. Robinson and find his art in libraries, parks, and all over the Bay Area.
Artwork:
What drew you to San Francisco?
Its energy. I love how free spirited and open minded the city can be.
Raffle Prize Donors
What’s your favorite park and why?
That’s a very hard question to answer. I love many parks in the city, each for different reasons. Dolores Park is great for
being with friends and getting some sun. Bernal Heights Park is good for gaining perspective. Golden Gate Park is great
for connecting with nature while still being in the city.
What book did you love as a kid and now as an adult?
Are You My Mother by P.D. Eastman
Photo by Anastasiia Sapon
If you had to name one book that made you who you are today, what would it be?
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Christian’s favorites
Taqueria: Pancho Villa
Ice cream shop: Bi-Rite Creamery
Pizzeria: Patxi’s
Market: Rainbow Grocery
Playground: Dolores Park
Reading spot: Crissy Field on a sunny day
Branch library: Mission
If you had words of advice to give to your 10-year-old self, what would they be?
Keep drawing! I’ve learned that with lots of practice you can do most things.
What inspires you to create?
Everything, really everything!
Do you return your books on time
or do you rack up late fines?
I have $1.75 in fines at the moment but I try very hard
to return books on time.
How have libraries had an impact
on your life?
When I needed a quiet space, when I couldn’t afford
new books or a computer, the library provided for me.
Meet Christian at these events!
