After being ravaged by a fire in 2018, the El Sobrante Library rose from the ashes and reopened to the public the following year on Sept. 19, 2019. In honor of that milestone, Library officials will host the "5th Birthday" of the remodeled space from 1-3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23. The party will include crafts and activities for all ages, face painting, commemorative button making, a local author book display and fun and creative photo opportunities. It will culminate at 2:30 p.m. with a lion dance and kung fu performance. "We're throwing a party to celebrate this milestone with entertainment and activities for all ages," Library officials said. After the 2018 fire, the Library building was "stripped down to the studs and rebuilt with accessible features, a modern design, and a whole new feeling," they said.
