Friends of the Library Membership Meeting
2022-04-22 17:30 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Friends of the Coronado Public Library will host an annual Membership Meeting at the Coronado Public Library Winn Room on Friday April 22 from 5:30 until 7 pm. This is an important meeting for the Friends of the Library as a vote will be held among the membership in attendance to approve the slate of officers for the Friends’ Board. Proposed Bylaws changes also need to be approved, making changes to membership levels and life memberships. Approximately one-half hour of business should be part of the membership meeting business.
Collectible books will be for sale after the meeting, and a raffle will also be held. The Membership meeting precedes the Saturday Book Sale which will be held for one day only on April 23, from 9 am until 4 pm. The Book Sale location will be held on the grounds outside the Winn Room adjacent to the Coronado Library. The usual types of items will be for sale: books of all types including non-fiction and text-books, children’s books, art books, best-sellers and mysteries, collectible books, audio-books, DVDs, and various gift items.
The change to a one-day sale is being caused by several reasons. Donations of books have not been accepted recently due to Covid, so the inventory is lower. At the same time the increasing costs of renting tents, tables, and other equipment associated with conducting the multi-day book-sale has reduced the income that is raised to help support the Coronado Library. Thus, setting up at Spreckels Park with the usual rented equipment for three days was not deemed the best way to achieve the Friends’ fundraising goals.
The Friends of the Coronado Public Library was formed in 1970 as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization to support the Coronado Library and its various activities. This includes a host of public programs, children’s and teen activities, concerts, art, and certain collections.

Screening of "The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis"
2022-04-22 19:30 - 21:00 | Graham Memorial Presbyterian Church, 975 C Avenue, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The dramatic, true story of C.S. Lewis’ journey from committed atheist to reluctant believer begins with his turbulent childhood. His tutelage under atheist William T. Kirkpatrick and his harrowing experiences in The Great War solidify his case for materialism until he befriends J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. His fellow intellectuals — all Christians — challenge him to consider the logical, mythological, and literary cases for Christianity, and Lewis must face a life-altering choice: to hold fast to materialism or to give his life to Jesus Christ.
No cost to attend.

Friends of the Library Book Sale
2022-04-23 09:00 - 16:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The Friends of the Coronado Public Library will once again be holding a Book Sale at the same time as the annual Flower Show. There will be changes, however, as the Book Sale will be held for one day only on April 23, from 9 am until 4 pm. The Book Sale location will be held on the grounds outside the Winn Room adjacent to the Coronado Library. The usual types of items will be for sale: books of all types including non-fiction and text-books, children’s books, art books, best-sellers and mysteries, collectible books, audio-books, DVDs, and various gift items.
The change to a one-day sale is being caused by several reasons. Donations of books have not been accepted recently due to Covid, so the inventory is lower. At the same time, the increasing costs of renting tents, tables, and other equipment associated with conducting the multi-day book-sale has reduced the income that is raised to help support the Coronado Library. Thus, setting up at Spreckels Park with the usual rented equipment for three days was not deemed the best way to achieve our fundraising goals. The one-day sale should still provide some revenue while sharing previously stored books to community and area readers.
The Friends of the Coronado Public Library was formed in 1970 as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization to support the Coronado Library and its various activities. This includes a host of public programs, children’s and teen activities, concerts, art, and certain collections.
By buying books at the Book Sale, or at the Second Hand Bookshop at the library, you help support the Coronado Library, as well as enjoying a good or instructive read.

Coronado Flower Show
2022-04-23 13:00 - 17:00 | Spreckels Park, 601 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
The largest tented Flower Show in the U.S. and Coronado’s longest running tradition will be held April 23-24, 2022.
Weekend long centennial celebration brings together local businesses, nonprofits and community groups across the arts, agriculture, environmental and education fields. More than 4,000 plant lovers anticipated to attend the two-day outdoor event.
The 100th Annual Coronado Flower Show, a co-production of the Coronado Floral Association (CFA) and City of Coronado, and supported by the County of San Diego, will make its return April 23-24, 2022 to Spreckels Park. Event organizers are thrilled to bring together again anthophiles (people who love flowers!), as well as plant-curious community members from around San Diego County to commemorate this major milestone, despite a two-year hiatus during the pandemic.
“As we approach our celebration to recognize our 100th anniversary, we grow more excited each day to once again bring our community together to experience the sights and scents of beautiful floral design, appreciate the carefully curated home fronts and witness the joyful moment when show exhibitors are recognized for their artistry,” says Diana Drummey, 2022 Chair, Coronado Flower Show. “We look forward to celebrating our centennial with the City of Coronado neighbors and our wider community of friends and longtime supporters. In addition, we acknowledge a new generation of gardening and floral design enthusiasts that will take us into the next 100 years.”

100 Years of the Coronado Flower Show – April 23 & 24

What to expect at this year’s show
During the pandemic, many new habits and hobbies were discovered by homebodies. One obsession that social distancing inspired was a newfound love for plants and gardening. For three years, new gardeners have blossomed everywhere, creating a new passion and appreciation for the world of horticulture and plant care. Coronado Flower Show organizers encourage these new plant enthusiasts to attend the event to not only build their skills, but also meet and learn from seasoned gardening aficionados.
Known as the “longest running tradition in Coronado,” the Coronado Flower Show offers its attendees beautiful landscape displays and a variety of floral competitions with a mission to educate the public. The show is organized using the National Garden Clubs, Inc. flower show rules. Over the two-day event, more than 4,000 attendees will gather in Spreckels Park in the center of Coronado. Visitors will enjoy live bandstand entertainment, delicious food, a beer & wine garden, as well as shopping featuring several local artists and small businesses.
Prior to the event, from April 8-10, there will be a “Home Front Judging” event to recognize and appreciate exceptional home and business gardens throughout the city. During the three-day event, over 150 local community volunteers will show up to walk the beautiful streets of Coronado to appreciate the meticulously curated gardens, home fronts, store fronts, apartment buildings, condominium complexes, churches, and school gardens. The volunteers’ results of the “Home Front Judging” event are due by April 11 and ribbon winners will be announced prior to the Coronado Flower Show weekend.

And the Winners Are… 2022 Home Front Judging Results

“I’ve participated in the Coronado Flower Show for over 30 years and am excited to once again take part in this year’s event,” says Carvill Veech, Coronado resident and longtime Coronado Flower Show participant. “I look forward to meeting up with old friends and encourage new flower enthusiasts to join in the fun of this 100-year tradition by entering their own flower arrangement, plant or cut flower.” Veech is a flower arranger, a Master Flower Show Judge, and has participated in the Coronado Flower Show since 1990. She has won countless awards and ribbons from “Best Picture Box” to “Best Designers Choice,” and much more.
“We’re thankful to our wonderful sponsors, including Coronado Floral Association, City of Coronado, and the County of San Diego for making this year’s 100th celebration possible. The Coronado Flower Show has always been volunteer-driven, and with the support of the community we’re able to continue the city’s most cherished springtime tradition,” says Drummey.

The 1922 Club
2022-04-23 18:30 - 21:30 | Spreckels Park, 601 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Spring is a time of growth and rebirth, a time to both honor the past and welcome the new. What was formerly known as the Coronado Spring Fling, held every Saturday evening during the annual Flower Show weekend, is now reimagined as The 1922 Club.
Paying homage to its century-old roots, The 1922 Club is an elevated evening of drinks, bites, and all sorts of delights both honoring Coronado’s heritage and opening the door to a fresh vision for the future. It’s a chic and swanky soirée and you’re on the guest list for its inaugural year!

Walking Tour of Historic Coronado
2022-03-31 11:00 - 12:30 | 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.
Every Sunday at 11 am & Thursday at 1 pm
Location: Coronado Historical Association,
1100 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA 92118
Admission: Adults $20 | Children (12 & under) $5
BUY TICKETS HERE
Tours are approximately 90 minutes and two miles at a comfortable pace. They are appropriate for young and old alike. Only certified service animals are allowed. This is an outdoor tour. Masks are optional for fully vaccinated persons with the booster shot, and required for those who are not.
Online tour sales close at 10 am the day of the tour and are nonrefundable. Private Tours are available for groups. Learn more by clicking here.
