The Oceanside Public Library is thrilled to announce the return of Lunch at the Library, a free summer meal program designed to keep children and teens healthy, fed, and engaged during the school break. From June 16 to August 8, youth can enjoy a nutritious lunch and participate in enrichment activities at Oceanside Public Library. No registration or library card required. Alongside the meal program, the Library will host engaging programs as part of its Summer Reading Program, designed to promote reading for enjoyment and prevent summer learning loss.
