Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-04-07 13:00 - 14:30, 2022-03-31 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Historical Association, 1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
One of the best ways to experience the history of Coronado is to go on a historic walking tour. This is the secret that Coronado locals know: it takes time to sense the past. When you slow down, you have a chance to see, hear, and remember this place that Hollywood stars, princes, and presidents have enjoyed. Everywhere you look in this charming beach town, you find history. And, that history is easiest to see on foot – when you have a chance to linger in front of a tiny, shingled house, perhaps, and meet the resident as he comes out into the yard to water his roses and tells you about the multiple generations who have lived in the home. Or, when you seemingly stumble upon the magical house from which the Wizard of Oz was born.
We’re proud to host you on Coronado’s premier walking tour. Every tour purchase supports the Coronado Historical Association and its mission. Thank you for your support.

Citizen Science Project: Snapshot Cal Coast BioBlitz

Help document California’s incredible coastal biodiversity and take part in this year’s Snapshot Cal Coast with a BioBlitz! Library staff will teach you how to use iNaturalist to make observations of the plants and animals you see at the beach.
Snapshot Cal Coast is an annual California statewide community science effort that encourages people to make and share observations of plants, animals, and seaweeds along the California coast using the iNaturalist app. Led by the California Academy of Sciences with support from the California Ocean Protection Council, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the MPA (Marine Protected Area) Collaborative Network, and an array of other partners, we are creating a valuable snapshot in time of where species are located along our coast.
Make sure to download the free iNaturalist app and bring your device to participate! Look for the Library’s green pop-up near the main lifeguard tower. We will have specimens from the San Diego Natural History Museum for folks to view!

Forum on The Current State of Public Education in America

On Saturday, July 9th, the Coronado Democratic Club is sponsoring a forum and panel discussion on The Current State of Public Education in America.
Since four of the five seats on the Coronado Unified School District Board of Trustees are on the November ballot, it is important voters know which issues impacting public education are real and which are fictional.
The moderator will be Brian Trotier. Our panelists are Peter Bolland (Southwestern College), Darshana Patel (Board Member, Poway Unified School District), Casey Tanaka (CUSD Faculty Member and current City Council Member), and Jennifer Landry (CUSD Faculty Member and ATC President).
Spread the word to your friends and neighbors, regardless of their politics. This topic is so important that we want as much public participation as possible.
The forum is open to all members of the Coronado community and admission is free. All attendees must bring proof of vaccination. Masks are optional, but welcome. The doors will open at 10:30 am and the forum and panel discussion will begin at 11 am and end by 12:30 pm.
