Story time meets community helpers at Bay Farm Island Library
Saturday, September 12, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, Bay Farm Island Library is hosting Books and Badges, a relaxed hour for kids and families in Alameda.
The Bay Farm branch has that easy neighborhood library feel. It is bright, calm, and friendly, with enough room for little ones to settle in without the rush of a bigger event space. If you live nearby, it is the kind of stop that fits nicely into a Saturday morning.
The featured guests are local badge wearing community helpers, sharing books and time with families. Kids can listen, ask questions, and get a little more comfortable seeing public safety workers in a low key library setting.
This is a good pick for parents looking for something simple, local, and free feeling in spirit. No big production. Just stories, friendly faces, and a chance for kids to connect reading with the people they see around town.
Where: Bay Farm Island Library, 3221 Mecartney Rd, Alameda, CA 94502
When: Saturday, September 12, 2026, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
