Water in the Library!

This month, the San Diego County Water Authority's traveling library visits to teach about the important role water conservation plays in our semi-arid environment. Interactive panels teach about water-saving versus water-wasting home activities, plus how we can help preserve our watershed and fresh water supplies. A collection of 100 titles supplements the display. Our third grade classes will have presentations regarding San Diego's climate. For more information, follow the links at www.SDCWA.org, the Water Authority's website.
