Bike rodeo scheduled Sunday
The Los Altos Police Department is scheduled to co-host a bike rodeo for kids 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at Loyola School, 770 Berry Ave.
Participants can practice safe cycling by learning about traffic signs, signals, and more. The event also will include bike inspections and helmet fittings. Loaner bikes are available for kids 10 years and older, but all are encouraged to bring their own bikes and helmets. Parents must be present with their children at the rodeo.
Co-hosts of the event include the city of Los Altos, the Rotary Club of Los Altos and the bicycle safety organization Safe Moves. The event is being conducted by Safe Moves in association with the police department.
Books4Schools offers teachers free books
Friends of the Library of Los Altos is offering its Books4-Schools program during its used-book sale Friday through Sunday.
Books4Schools allows teachers from any K-12 public school to select free books for their classrooms. Teachers shop for books like other customers, but when checking out, they give their registration number instead of cash. Payment for the books is then taken from the donor-funded B4S Fund.
The sale is scheduled at the Los Altos Youth Center, 1 N. San Antonio Road, and in the Orchard Room of the main library, 13 S. San Antonio Road. Hours are 6:30-9 p.m. Friday (Members Only Night); 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (open to all); and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday (Bag Day – fill a bag with books for $5).
Teachers can register for Books4Schools through today by sending an email to [email protected] with their name, grade, school and principal.
Teachers who have registered at previous sales will receive notice of the May sale, but they must re-register for each sale they wish to attend. Teachers who want to shop Friday, Members Only Night, must be members of the Friends of the Library of Los Altos.
