She was a multiple recipient of both the Hugo and Nebula award and in 1995 she became the � rst science � ction writer to receive the MacArthur Fellowship, otherwise known as the “Genius Grant.”

Saturday, June 24 • 11 a.m.–5 p.m. • Central Library/Studio on 4th“Octavia Butler dreamed up our future.

After Nyah’s ship crash-lands in Scotland, she seeks help at a village inn. She tries to convince the men, including a disbelieving scientist and an ex-convict, to come with her, but doesn’t understand their wives’ objections.

“Why aren’t there more science � ction black writers? There aren’t because there aren’t. What we don’t see, we assume can’t be. What a destructive assumption.” - Octavia Butler

Summer is approaching and so is the Summer Reading Program. This is the time of year when librarians are busily promoting the importance of reading during the summer to keep up children’s skills. During the school year, children make progress in reading. If they don’t practice that skill for the two months of summer break, some can lose those important gains. It’s pretty easy for parents to keep their children reading during the summer – bring your children to the library to pick out some fun summer reading materials,join the Summer Reading Program, attend a free program that will entice your children to check out some books, and read every day -- even for just a few minutes.

One of the great elements of the Pasadena Public Library Summer Reading Program is that it is open to everyone – children, teens, and adults. The all-ages program is designed to encourage reading every day during the summer, with prizes and incentives along the way. This year’s theme – Reading by Design – will be carried through the programs. From LEGO® building to architecture to designing a memoir to building the city, there is something for all ages. We hope you will make the Pasadena Public Library one of your � rst stops this summer!
