Borrow a Chromebook and Wi-Fi hotspot to access the internet.

You can now checkout a Google Chromebook and Wireless Hotspot for 3 weeks, from any Los Angeles County Library Sidewalk Service FREE! Do you know anyone without internet or a computer at home who would benefit from borrowing them—to apply for jobs, access homeschooling resources, or simply stay connected to information?
You can now check out a kit with a Chromebook and wireless hotspot to access the internet (plus chargers) inside a handy carrying case, from any Sidewalk Service location.
Please call any Sidewalk Service location to place a hold on a Laptop & Hotspot Loan Kit. Borrow for 3 weeks, with the option to renew, if available.
Please note: Laptop & Hotspot Loan Kits require a full access card to check out. Call your nearest Sidewalk Service location for details about signing up or upgrading your digital card.
Funding for this project has been provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who can check out a Chromebook kit?
Adults with a standard adult library card in good standing will be able to check out a Chromebook kit at a participating library.

2. How do I check out a Chromebook kit?
Requests for Chromebook kits can be made using our online catalog or over the phone, like any of our other materials. At this time requests are site-specific and can only be placed at libraries offering the service (listed above). Call a library offering the service to arrange a same-day checkout, if kits are available.

3. When can I pick up my Laptop & Hotspot?
Call the owning library and arrange to pick up your kit during Sidewalk Service hours.

4. How long can I keep the Laptop & Hotspot Loan? Can I renew?
The kits can be borrowed for 3 weeks. If no other customers are on the waiting list, the checkout can be renewed up to 3 times. The renewal needs to be made before your checkout period ends.

5. How do I return the Chromebook Kit?
Chromebooks must be returned in person to the owning library during Sidewalk Service hours. They cannot be returned in the bookdrop. They cannot be returned to any library other than the one where the kit was checked out. Please call the owning library to arrange a drop-off time and call again once at the library to alert staff. Staff will bring out a box labeled Laptop Return to the Sidewalk Service table. You’ll be instructed to remove all items – the Chromebook, the wireless hotspot, and both charging cables – from the carrying case. Put the case into the box first, on the bottom, and then put all other items in on top. Staff will check the box to make sure all items are inside and that they look fine. All items will be quarantined for 4 days and confirmed to be working properly before being checked in. Staff will contact you if there are any questions or concerns. Please remember that the loan will still show on your account until the quarantine and check-in process is complete.

6. Are there late fees?
Late fees will be assessed the same as all other library materials. The Chromebook will become disabled once the loan period has ended.

7. Will I be charged if the Chromebook is damaged while in my possession? How much?
Yes, fees will depend on the type of damage.

8. Will my documents stay on the Chromebook after I return it?
All documents are deleted once the Chromebook is shut down. This will happen even during your 3-week checkout period, so we advise you to back up your documents on a flash drive or in Google Docs if you are working on something you want to keep.

9. What programs will be included on the Chromebook?

Adobe Acrobat Reader
DocuSign
Google Calendar
Google Drive/Docs
Skype
WordPress
Internet

10. Does the Chromebook include the internet?
A wireless hotspot device is included when you check out the Chromebook. This will give you access to the internet.

11. I don’t have a printer. Can I print things through the library?
Yes, you can use our Wi-Fi printing service on the borrowed Chromebook and send your documents wirelessly to any library that offers Sidewalk Service.

12. Will library staff provide an orientation on the technology when I check it out?
A basic instruction sheet will be provided explaining how to turn on and connect the equipment. If you have further questions, please call your local library.

13. I am not good with computers. Will Library staff help me use the Chromebook or answer technical questions?
Library staff is able to provide basic help with your computer—like how to turn it on, connect the wireless hotspot, or how to locate programs. For help, please call your local library.

The Old LA Zoo
2021-07-27 05:00 - 22:30 | The Old Los Angeles Zoo, 4801 Griffith Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA, 90027, United States
OPEN EVERYDAY- Griffith Park
The Old LA Zoo, or The Griffith Park Zoo, opened in 1912 and closed in 1966 with the opening of the new, Los Angeles Zoo. The abandoned site of the Griffith Park Zoo, complete with the ruins of animal enclosures, is now a picnic area and hiking trail in Griffith Park.

The Old LA Zoo opened in 1912 with a grand total of only 15 animals. Bears, Lions, Monkeys, Macaw’s, Elephants, Reptiles, Goats, and Turtles now lived in the zoo, which was built on the original site of Griffith J. Griffith‘s defunct ostrich farm.

As Los Angeles grew, the small Griffith Park Zoo was increasingly criticized as an “inadequate, ugly, poorly designed despite drawing more than 2 million visitors a year.
In 1958, the city decided to create a brand new zoo, and the Griffith Park Zoo closed in August 1966. Its animals were transferred to the new Los Angeles Zoo 2 miles away, which opened a few months later.

The animal enclosures, with the bars removed, were left as ruins and remain today. A large picnic area was added, and NOW every summer, the zoo is the location for the Independent Shakespeare Company’s Free “Shakespeare in the Park” performances.
The Old Zoo is located on Griffith Park Dr. Only 2 miles from today’s LA Zoo,

Upon arriving, you will see a small parking lot. Follow the path Up the hill to reach the abandoned enclosure.
Upon arriving, you will enter many of the original Grotto’s. There are lots of little spaces to crawl into, AND stairs to climb up.

Follow the path around to get to the upper lever where you will find even more cages & enclosures.

If you are going to come for a visit, make sure to bring a bottle of water and your imagination.

JULY IS FREE SLURPEE DAY@ 7-11
2021-07-31 07:30 - 23:00 | 7-Elevens, CA, United States
EXTENDED TO EVERY DAY IN JULY 2021- All Participating 7-11’s

7-Eleven’s Free Slurpee Day is back and better than ever.
Normally, the convenience store hands out free Slurpees on its birthday (July 11), but this year, it’s giving shoppers the chance to cash in on the sweet offer at any point during the month of July.
7-Eleven’s 94th birthday celebration kicks off on July 1, when the store’s 7Rewards app members will receive one free small Slurpee drink coupon in their account. There are plenty of flavors to choose from, including the classics and a range of summer specials like VitaminWater Zero Sugar Gutsy (Watermelon Peach), Pineapple Whip and Blueberry Lemonade.

When is Free Slurpee Day this Year?
National Free Slurpee Day aways on July 11. Get it? 7-11, 7/11/2021

History of National Free Slurpee Day
7-Eleven began celebrating the day back in 2002, but the beloved frozen treat has been around since the late 1950’s. With more than 300 flavors —ranging from sweet (Vanilla, 7-Elemon), to sour (Warhead, Sour Apple), to the exotic (Mango, Lychee)— there’s a Slurpee for every palette.

The Slurpee, created by Omar Knedlik, was first known by the name ICEE. Like many great inventions, it was discovered purely on accident. Knedlick got the idea after one of his soda fountains broke down, forcing him to put his sodas in the freezer to keep cool. The resulting soda slush was a hit with Knedlick’s customers prompting him to create a machine that would freeze carbonated drinks.
Realizing the success of the ICEE, 7-Eleven made a licensing deal with Knedlick in 1965 to sell the product under a different name; one that would only be sold in its stores. In 1966, the Slurpee was officially born. The name was coined by an advertising executive referencing the sound made when drinking it.
By the spring of 1967, every 7-Eleven store in the country had a Slurpee machine. To fuel the rising Slurpee fanfare, 7-Eleven would introduce eye-catching —if not, risqué— names for its new flavors. Novelty names like Pink Fink, Moonshine, Sticky Icky, Gully Washer, and Adults Only were added to the growing list of flavors.
On July 11, 2002, 7-Eleven celebrated its 75th birthday by giving customers a free Slurpee, marking the first official National Free Slurpee Day.
As the name of the day implies, you go to a participating 7-Eleven, between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., and receive a free, 12-ounce Slurpee (while supplies last). Get there early since everyone in the know will undoubtedly want a free Slurpee, too. We’re not suggesting you camp outside a 7-Eleven, but do you really want to miss out on a FREE Slurpee?

2021 Round the R-10 Paddleboard Race
2021-07-31 08:00 - 11:00 | Torrance Beach, 300 paseo de la playa, Redondo Beach, CA, 90277, United States
Welcome to the 2021 R-10 Paddleboard Race. This year is the 23rd Annual Race and we look forward to returning to the water this summer.

Welcome to the 2021 R-10 Paddleboard Race. This year is the 23rd Annual Race and we look forward to seeing many old faces return to one of the South Bay’s original paddleboard races.
We are once again a part of the International Surf Festival family of events throughout the South Bay. The course will be a water start from Torrance Beach (just south of the main lifeguard tower) out to the R-10 (PV-10) Buoy and back to the beach (beach finish). The course is approximately 7 miles out and back. Paddleboards and SUPs are all invited.
R-10 Information: The race dates back to 1997 and the tradition continues.
In keeping with tradition, each paddler will receive an Event T-shirt, a breakfast burrito, and an entry into the post race raffle.
All boards are invited – Just make sure you can handle the surf to get out to the start line and the beach finish.
Paddlers should be able to complete a 7 mile paddle in under 2 hours. If not, I highly recommend entering the Velzy-Stevens Pier to Pier race on Sunday, August 1st in Manhattan Beach.
Online registration: $25 – Event t-shirt and breakfast burrito guaranteed with early registration! The race is FREE for paddlers 17 and Under.
Beach registration: This makes more work for the race organizers so the entry fee is higher (my apologies but hopefully you can register in advance) $40 (T-shirt size is not guaranteed) – Check-in starting at 6:30 am. Race starts at 8 am
Any net proceeds from the race will go to support Harbor Interfaith Services serving homeless families in the South Bay.
Thank you!
Kyle

Looking for fun for your teens? Our Spot is a FREE after-school program for teens ages 12-18, providing a fun, safe and supportive place where teens can check-in daily, Monday through Friday all year long. Programming takes on a strength-based approach engaging youth from our communities to explore their unique and collective lived experiences through various forms of recreation programming, visual arts sessions, social action activities, and educational field trips. Focus is placed on aiding teens in setting meaningful goals to accomplish individually and collaboratively through peer-to-peer leadership, art, special gatherings, and park engagement.
Our SPOT has been a safe haven for teens after school – providing a place to make friends, participate in fun activities and learn self-esteem. While Los Angeles County shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, so did many of the after school and youth serving organizations in Los Angeles County. However, Our SPOT stayed connected with teens through virtual programming available live on mobile devices and smartphones. During a challenging year, Our SPOT staff kept the energy high and engagement ever higher through this positive and transformative program aiming to serve youth.
Our SPOT is back in-person at locations throughout Los Angeles County!

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band’s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding “big four” bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica’s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band’s third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums. Its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band’s first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era.
Metallica, like most of the music industry right now, is off the road. To help fans pass the time, they are introducing #MetallicaMondays. Each week the Free Metallica Monday Concert features a different live performance, on their YouTube and Facebook page every Monday night at 5 PM pacific.
