Share

The Ramona Community Library, 1275 Main St., is hosting a programming series for adults on the first Friday of each month.

The “First Fridays” series brings local authors, educators, historians and experts to the library for lectures and presentations. Each program will be held in the library’s community room and sponsored by the Friends of the Ramona Library.

Upcoming programs are:

Friday, Sept. 2, 1 p.m. - “A Sampler of Fun iPad and iPhone Apps” with Barbara Smith.

Do you have an iPad or iPhone and want to know more about the latest apps? Bring your device with Apple ID and password if you’d like to download apps in class.

Friday, Oct. 7, 1 p.m. - “Zootopia: A Centennial Celebration” with Richard Lederer.

December 2016 marks the centennial of our San Diego Zoo. The San Diego Union-Tribune language columnist Richard Lederer will present an early history of the zoo and a caravan of animals that run through our beastly English language.

Friday, Nov. 4, 1 p.m. - “Winners and Losers in U.S. Politics” with Vincent Rossi.

Join Vincent Rossi as he examines the 150-year history of political parties in the United States.

Friday, Dec. 2, 1 p.m. - “The Mythology of Christmas” with Peter Bolland.

Christmas has snowballed into something so massive that it draws together elements from disparate cultures and traditions all over the world. Join us as we explore the many tendrils and roots.

These programs are offered through San Diego OASIS, an organization devoted to improving the lives of residents age 50 and older through educational programs.
