2026-03-30 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Coronado Tasting Room, 1201 1st St # 101, Coronado, CA 92118, USA
2010 Coronado High School grad Alyssa Burns will celebrate the release of her debut novel, The Last Special Thing (releases April 1) at a book launch party at the Coronado Tasting Room from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 30. The entire community is invited.

The Last Special Thing is a young adult fiction novel that tackles drug exploration, a topic she approached with caution. It’s a book that she wished she had read while younger, because it explores how quickly people can find themselves in unexpected situations. It aims to teach young readers to navigate these things without condescension.
“You don’t open to page one and someone’s doing heroin,” she said. “There’s a step stool to how these things escalate, and that structure came naturally to this story.”
Burns was intentional about refusing both glamorization of drugs and oversimplified scare tactics.
“How we talk about drug use is: ‘Don’t do drugs because you’re going to get addicted and die,’” she said. “Maybe you’re not going to get addicted and die, but you’re also not going to have a good time. You’re going to make decisions you wouldn’t have made otherwise.”
The core message of the book is embedded in its title.
“You don’t need drugs, you don’t need a guy, you don’t need a thrill to be special,” Burns said. “You already are.”

Readers can preorder a signed copy of The Last Special Thing on Alyssa Burns’ website. To read more of Burns’ writing for The Coronado Times, click here.

SDSU Professor Dr. Brian Adams to speak on local elections at Coronado Democratic Club meeting

The Coronado Democratic Club will host Dr. Brian Adams, Professor of Political Science at San Diego State University, as its featured speaker on Saturday, April 11, at the Coronado Public Library’s Winn Room.
Dr. Adams specializes in the study of local politics, with research examining voter behavior, campaign finance, and electoral dynamics in city council and school board elections. His work explores how candidates communicate with voters, the role of ballot cues, and the factors that influence decision-making in local contests.
His presentation will focus on how local campaigns take shape, including the importance of early engagement, fundraising, and voter outreach. As communities begin looking ahead to the upcoming midterm cycle, the discussion will provide perspective on how local races develop and why early activity can play a decisive role.
Local elections, while often less visible than state or national contests, have a direct impact on schools, governance, and community priorities. Dr. Adams’ talk will offer insight into how these elections function and what influences outcomes at the local level.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session following the presentation.
Timing:

An evening with international soccer star Landon Donovan
2026-04-11 17:30 - 18:30 | Coronado Performing Arts Center, 650 D Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
As excitement builds around the World Cup — played in part on U.S. soil this year — join the Coronado Public Library for a special evening with Landon Donovan, widely regarded as one of the greatest American soccer players of all time. Donovan will share reflections from Landon: A Memoir, offering an inside look at his life on and off the field, from defining career moments to the challenges that shaped his journey beyond the game.
A six-time MLS Cup champion and four-time U.S. Soccer Player of the Year, Donovan remains the all-time assists leader for the U.S. Men’s National Team and is tied for the most international goals scored by an American man. His five World Cup goals make him the highest-scoring American male player in tournament history, and Major League Soccer honored his legacy by naming its MVP award after him. Yet Donovan’s memoir goes far beyond trophies and highlight reels, it’s a story of resilience, vulnerability, and self-discovery.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the Friends of the Coronado Public Library’s work with the Exceptional Families Program and requires a paid ticket for entry. The Friends of the Coronado Public Library are dedicated supporters who offer financial assistance for a variety of the Coronado Public Library’s programs that serve readers and learners of all ages. The Exceptional Families Program is a partnership with the Coronado Community Foundation and Camp Able which offers monthly programs that provide enrichment, respite, and community connection for families with special needs members, particularly those who have aged out of school-based services or are transitioning beyond the classroom.
Ticket options include:

$10 entry only

$29.95 for admission for one person and one copy of Landon: A Memoir

Tickets can be purchased at cplevents.org or adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/landon-donovan-4-11-26/. This event will take place at the Coronado Performing Arts Center in partnership with Adventures by the Book. All seating is first-come, first-served.

CIFF Educational Classic Film "The Maltese Falcon" (1941)
2026-04-12 13:30 - 16:00 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Coronado Island Film Festival presents Director John Huston’s 1941 Best Picture Oscar Nominated feature film, “The Maltese Falcon” on Sunday, April 12, 1:30-4 pm in the Coronado Public Library Ruby Room. The screening is free and open to the public of all ages and is part of this year’s Educational Classic Film Series – “The Art of Adaptation.”

John Huston’s Landmark Film Noir Classic: “The Maltese Falcon”
As darkness descended on Europe in the late 1930s and early ’40s, a new movie genre, (in retrospect) labeled Film Noir, emerged from Hollywood. It featured stories of the darker side of human nature and fatalistic themes of murder, crime, double-dealing, and corruption. The moral ambiguity of the genre appealed to the anxieties of audiences facing a world seemingly gone mad.
Warner Brothers long held the film rights to Dashiell Hammett’s 1930 novel, The Maltese Falcon, based on a story he serialized in the pulp fiction magazine Black Mask. The Warners produced a notorious pre-code version in 1931 and a later comedic version in 1936, “Satan Met a Lady,” starring Bette Davis that was a notable flop.
The Warners offered a young, promising screenwriter, John Huston, the opportunity to adapt and remake Hammett’s story for a third time as his directorial debut. The result: perhaps the most enduring, admired, and imitated detective mystery movie ever made. “The Maltese Falcon” is a definite must-see in the American film canon.
In addition to the story’s appeal with audiences, Bogart’s “hard-boiled” detective, Sam Spade, proved his breakout role as a leading man. The supporting ensemble cast includes an exceptional roster of Warner Brothers Golden Age contract talent: Mary Astor as the story’s femme fatale, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre in their first of many screen pairings and the inimitable Elisha Cook, Jr. as Greenstreet’s gun-toting “boy” who Bogart’s Sam Spade continually delights in humiliating.
Featuring a roster of menacing, murderous, deceitful characters, and crackling, quotable dialogue, all wrapped in Arthur Edeson’s shadowy cinematography, its themes of betrayal, greed, and cynicism make “The Maltese Falcon” the quintessential example of the Film Noir genre. Don’t miss this timeless 1941 Warner Brothers Classic!
This screening is free and open to the public of all ages.
