So much to see, so much to do this weekend!

This is not only the last week of school for kids in Burbank but it's also Memorial Day weekend, which means lots of FREE fun for those kids and their families as they celebrate the start of Summer! 

You can start the celebrating early right here at the library with Family Night at Buena Vista Library on Thursday at 7:00.  This weekend La Crescenta-Flintridge will be holding their annual Fiesta Days celebration with a FREE family flick, fireworks show, and a parade! Or if you want to indulge your child's creative side then head on out to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Monday when admission is FREE for all as part of Target's Free Holiday Mondays program.  If you're looking to take a drive, then try the Valley Greek Festival in Northridge. 

However you decide to spend the weekend, the Burbank Library Children's Department wishes you all a happy and safe Memorial Day!
