Father’s Day

“A father’s smile has been known to light up a child’s entire day.” — Susan Gale

“A father carries pictures where his money used to be.” — Steve Martin

Father's Day this year is June 18, a time for recognizing fathers for all the things they've done for us over the years! Some of the happiest memories for many of us are of time spent with Dad when we were young: playing games, exploring the outdoors, learning new skills.

This Father's Day, let your dad know how much he means to you with a fun activity, a special meal or outing, or other gesture—such as giving him a craft you made at one of SJPL's Father's Day craft programs from June 9 through 18!
