Santa Monica Public Library at the Beach

SMPL at the Beach is on hiatus until further notice.

It's time for bookish fun in the sun with SMPL at the Beach, Southern California's only seaside pop-up library! Join us on the beach for a fun-filled day of family friendly activities like Seaside Storytime and Nautical Crafts, sign out books from our curated collection of beach reads, enjoy games like bocce and ladder toss, or kick back, relax and read in the shade of our Surfside Lounge. Stay tuned for more about the 2019 edition of SMPL at the Beach!
