      Beachy Beach Reads

      by TacomaLibrary_Main June 21, 2016
      Woman lying on beach and reading, sunset time, at the edge of sea. Photo taken in summer day outdoors.

      Tacoma Public Library is looking forward to the sun coming back! Sunny weather means warm, relaxing days and beach visits.

      We are all looking forward to a relaxing vacation. That means we get to READ a book.
