Month of October
My arrival in Paso Robles
Library visitors can fill out a brief form with their name and story about their coming to Paso Robles. These will be displayed around the library for the month of October, then compiled in a notebook for our local history file. This activity will tie in with our annual Pioneer Day celebration in October, which is an event honoring families who first settled the Paso Robles area.
