SUMMARY:Celebrate the Season: Hanukkah Party with Isaac Zones at The Reading Bug
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Season: Hanukkah Party with Isaac Zones at The Reading Bug\nGet ready for Hanukkah with themed activities and music with Isaac Zones at The Reading Bug! This annual celebration brings families together for joyful learning\, festive entertainment\, and a chance to experience the warmth of the holiday in a lively community setting. This year’s program is co-sponsored by PJCC and PJ Library\, two organizations known for supporting Jewish learning\, culture\, and family-friendly events. If you’re looking for a memorable way to welcome the Festival of Lights\, this is an event you won’t want to miss. \nA Festive Morning for Families\nThe Hanukkah Party with Isaac Zones promises a full hour of singing\, dancing\, creativity\, and hands-on fun. Isaac Zones is widely loved for his energetic performances\, engaging storytelling\, and ability to bring children and parents into the magic of Jewish music. His musical style blends tradition with modern playfulness\, making it easy for kids of all ages to join in. \nThemed activities are designed to help young learners understand the significance of Hanukkah in an interactive way. Whether it’s decorating dreidels\, exploring symbols of light\, or listening to a lively retelling of the Hanukkah story\, families can expect an immersive experience. For many\, this event becomes a treasured holiday tradition\, offering a joyful space to celebrate culture\, music\, and community. \nEvent Date and Location\nMark your calendar!Sun\, 14 Dec\, 2025 — 10:30 am to 11:30 am (PST)The Reading Bug781 Laurel St\, San Carlos\, CA 94070-3113\, United States \nThe Reading Bug is known for nurturing curiosity and creativity through books\, workshops\, and events. Its warm\, storybook-inspired atmosphere makes it the perfect venue for a family-friendly Hanukkah celebration. With shelves full of themed books and a cozy community space\, parents and children alike will feel right at home. \nWhy This Event Stands Out\nHanukkah is a holiday rich in meaning—celebrating miracles\, resilience\, and the power of light during the darkest time of the year. The Hanukkah Party with Isaac Zones brings these themes to life through music and hands-on exploration. Isaac’s performances help children learn Jewish songs\, participate in rhythmic activities\, and develop a deeper connection to the holiday. \nThe co-sponsorship from PJCC and PJ Library adds even more value. PJ Library is known for providing free Jewish children’s books to families around the world\, and their presence ensures that stories and learning remain at the heart of the celebration. PJCC\, a hub for family programs and Jewish cultural events\, brings its commitment to inclusion and community enrichment. The combination of these organizations creates an event that is educational\, welcoming\, and absolutely fun. \nA Celebration for All Ages\nThis event is designed especially for families with young children\, but all ages are welcome. Toddlers love the music and movement\, preschoolers enjoy the crafts and stories\, and older siblings can take part in activities or simply enjoy the atmosphere. Parents appreciate the chance to connect with other local families and to introduce their children to meaningful holiday traditions in an accessible and engaging way. \nWhether you celebrate Hanukkah every year or are attending your first Jewish cultural event\, this party offers something for everyone. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn\, celebrate\, and create lasting memories together. \nMake It a Day of Community Exploration\nIf you enjoy this Hanukkah celebration\, you may also like the following events from Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School\, another organization offering enriching programs for families in the community: \n\nHappening on January 8th at 04:00 am: TK/Kindergarten Readiness Info Session in Foster City\, CaliforniaThis session is perfect for parents seeking a nurturing and academically strong environment for their young learners.\nHappening on January 11th at 10:00 am: Science Fun in Foster CityA hands-on experience designed to spark curiosity and inspire children through interactive science learning.\n\nThese events complement the Hanukkah celebration beautifully by offering additional opportunities for educational growth\, community involvement\, and cultural connection. \nWhy Attend a Holiday Event at The Reading Bug?\nThe Reading Bug is more than just a bookstore—it’s a vibrant learning hub for families. Its events blend literature\, creativity\, and community\, making it a beloved destination for local parents and educators. Attending a holiday celebration here means stepping into a space where stories come alive\, imagination flourishes\, and children feel valued and inspired. \nMoreover\, celebrating Hanukkah at a community-centered space like The Reading Bug reinforces the values of joy\, togetherness\, and shared traditions. It allows children to see that holidays are not just rituals—they are experiences that bring people closer. \nJoin the Celebration\nAs the eight nights of Hanukkah approach\, there’s no better way to welcome the season than with music\, laughter\, and meaningful activities. The Hanukkah Party with Isaac Zones is an ideal event for families who want to celebrate in a festive\, educational environment filled with warmth and creativity. \nBring your curiosity\, your energy\, and your love of music—and let Isaac Zones lead your family into the magic of the holiday. From singing and dancing to storytelling and hands-on fun\, this event is sure to brighten your December with light and joy. \n \n\nSee other interesting events in San Carlos.

SUMMARY:Its Time for Some Awesome Craft Time: Featuring "Let's Build a Town" by Chris Van Dusen
DESCRIPTION:It’s Craft Time at the Reading Bug! Let’s Build a Town!\nMark your calendars now! On Sunday\, September 14 at 11:00 am and again on Sunday\, September 28 at 11:00 am\, we’re hosting special creative sessions in honor of the San Carlos Centennial—and celebrating the upcoming visit of beloved children’s author-illustrator Chris Van Dusen\, who will be joining us with his brand new book If I Built a Town. \n  \nChris Van Dusen\, from his official website \n\nWhat We’re Doing\nWe’re inviting children\, families\, school groups\, and all imaginative souls to help us build our own town: one that comes straight from your dreams\, from your imaginations\, from the weirdest\, wackiest\, most wonderful ideas you can muster. We’ll provide lots of different art supplies\, materials\, and tools\, but if you’ve got things at home you think would add flavor\, a bit of sparkle\, texture\, color\, unusual shapes\, please bring them! Glue\, cardboard\, recycled items\, fabric bits\, buttons\, sticks\, whatever inspires you. \nDuring these two sessions (Sept 14 & Sept 28)\, we’ll spend time designing\, constructing\, painting\, assembling. We’ll build houses\, parks\, roads\, fountains\, weird towers\, whimsy corners—whatever your minds say should belong in your perfect town. \n\nWhy These Dates & What Follows\nThese two Sunday gatherings are your chance to plan\, create\, experiment. Then\, on October 8\, Chris Van Dusen will visit the bookstore in person. At that time\, we will present our community-made town to Chris. It’s going to be a grand moment—where your art meets the artist. And yes\, tickets for that visit are free. (You can get yours here: [GET THOSE FREE TICKETS HERE].) \n\nWho Is Chris Van Dusen: More About the Author & Illustrator\nTo give you some background so you come in knowing a little about him: \n\nChris Van Dusen was born in Portland\, Maine\, on St. Patrick’s Day\, 1960. (chrisvandusen.com)\nFrom childhood he was already drawing: aliens\, robots\, monsters among his favorite subjects\, while his brothers drew animals and war scenes. He credits Dr. Seuss and Robert McCloskey as early heroes: Seuss for his rhythm and playful language\, McCloskey for his detailed\, realistic illustrations. (chrisvandusen.com)\nHe studied fine art at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth\, graduating in 1982 with a BFA. (chrisvandusen.com)\nAfter college\, he did a variety of work—freelance illustration\, editorial work\, cartoons—and his illustrations appeared in magazines like Nickelodeon\, Family Fun\, Disney Adventures. (chrisvandusen.com)\nHis first self-illustrated book was Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee (2000)\, inspired in part by one of his whimsical ideas—a boat stuck up in a tree—and in part by rhyming phrases he liked\, like “Mr. Magee and his little dog\, Dee / hopped in the car and drove down to the sea.” From then on he’s been actively writing and illustrating children’s picture books. (chrisvandusen.com)\nHe lives in Camden\, Maine\, with his wife\, Lori\, and their yellow Labrador named Opal. They have two sons: Ethan (who lives in California) and Tucker (in Maine). (chrisvandusen.com)\nStyle & technique: Chris Van Dusen works in gouache\, a paint medium that gives him strong control over colors\, layers\, textures. He cares a lot about details—the consistency of color\, the richness of environment\, the interplay of light and nature. You’ll see whimsical\, colorful\, often retro-inspired but freshly lively scenes. Nature\, scenery\, elements of his coastal Maine surroundings tend to leak into his work (whether explicitly or implicitly). (mainehomedesign.com)\nAside from writing and drawing his own books\, he also illustrates for other authors—among them Kate DiCamillo’s Mercy Watson series. He has earned recognition for his craftsmanship\, storytelling\, and illustration work. (Encyclopedia.com)\n\n\nWhat to Expect When Chris Visits (October 8)\n\nYou’ll meet Chris in person. You’ll get a chance to hear him speak about If I Built a Town—what inspired the story\, how he developed the ideas\, what his process looks like.\nHe may share sketches\, perhaps works-in-progress\, and maybe even reveal some behind the scenes of how his illustrations are made (color mixing\, layout\, etc.).\nWe’ll present our town\, the one we all built together\, to him. He might give thoughts\, maybe even sign books\, perhaps take photos.\n\n\nWhy It’s Special\nThis isn’t just a regular author event. It’s a chance to create together\, to let the whole community participate in imaginative vision. Building a town out of all kinds of material is fun and messy in the best possible way—it encourages creativity\, collaboration\, unexpected discoveries. And meeting someone like Chris Van Dusen—who has dedicated his life to storytelling\, to art\, to children’s wonder—gives a chance for inspiration: for young artists\, writers\, and curious kids to see possibility. \nWe hope you’ll join us Sunday\, September 14 at 11:00 am and/or Sunday\, September 28 at 11:00 am\, roll up your sleeves\, and help build something wonderful. Then\, bring your hearts and imaginations to October 8\, to meet Chris\, to share our creation\, and to celebrate art\, community\, creativity\, and a centennial full of dreams. \nSee you then—can’t wait to build with you! \n\n \nFor more events at the Reading Bug\, please check their calendar. \n \nSee other interesting events in San Carlos. You may also check the main calendar for the dates of these\, or to save them on your personal calendar. \n\n\nDon't miss out!Subscribe To San Carlos LifeAdd your email here to subscribe to all things San Carlos Invalid email address Give it a try.
