Let’s Talk Mental Wellness This May
Hi Friends,
May is here, the sun is shining longer, and there’s something about the warmer weather that just makes everything start to feel a bit lighter. Summertime is on the horizon and yet; work, family, the end of the school year, and everyday pressures of keeping it all together takes a toll on our mental well-being. That’s why Mental Wellness Month is an important reminder to slow down and check in with ourselves and with each other.
I see a lot of talk about staying physically healthy like eating well, getting enough sleep, moving our bodies—but do we give the same attention to our mental health? The truth is, it all goes hand in hand. Taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies. And sometimes, that means reaching out, sending a text, having a conversation, or reminding someone (or yourself!) that it’s okay to ask for help.
One of the best things about Coronado is our sense of community. When we support each other, we all grow stronger. This May, let’s make an extra effort to check in on a friend, take a break when you need it; know that prioritizing mental health isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
And if you’re looking for ways to get inspired, learn something new, or just connect with others who care about wellness, join us at the Safe Harbor Coronado Health & Wellness Fair on May 22nd at the Spreckels Center. It’s a great opportunity to explore mental health resources, meet local experts, and walk away with some practical tools to support yourself and those around you. Hope to see you there!
Take Care, Danielle Maske Executive Director, Safe Harbor

Mental Health & Wellness with Safe Harbor Coronado
By Annie Gardner
Lasting mental well-being starts with a community where members feel safe, cared for and supported. Often these aims are organically manifested within communities, yet the best communities integrate organic connection with programs that educate, encourage support, and engage connection. Together, this forges the foundation of lasting mental health and well-being. Coronado is a small community that falls into this category – our town organically offers connection and collaboration, while also offering extension programs to support diverse needs.
Safe Harbor Coronado is a pivotal Coronado non-profit that fosters a vision of helping everyone in our community navigate life's challenges with resilience. Their goal is to provide skills, support, and resources to meet each community member where they are at — and then help them grow their wings to fly. They do this through extensive programs and events that reach every member of the community.
Beginning at the elementary level, Safe Harbor Coronado integrates socialemotional learning into the curriculum at each Coronado school. Kids age preschool through first grade are taught Turtle Time, a program that follows Tucker Turtle as he navigates and learns how to manage big feelings. This program is the foundation of emotional regulation, teaching kids how to recognize and name their feelings, then how to stop and breath, and then make a positive choice. After Turtle Time, kids in second through fourth grade participate in Anger Management classes. This program compares anger to a volcano and teaches students to understand and
recognize the underlying emotions that build to anger using hands on experiments and helps them practice various coping skills to manage emotions. The goal is to build coping skills and supports so that destructive explosions are avoided. Following Anger Management, upper elementary and middle grades are taught Pause Power. This program builds on the basics from Turtle Time and Anger Management and is a relational, discussion-based program that helps kids identify and manage their emotions at the pre-teen level. All three elementary level programs are designed to build the strong foundation of emotional recognition, management and resilience.
Along with the elementary school programs, Safe Harbor Coronado partners with the middle and high school to provide a safe space for connection and support. Wellness Wednesday at Coronado Middle invites students to connect through games, art and discussions. Likewise, Tournament Tuesday at Coronado High School provides a regular safe space during lunch on Tuesdays for students to find connection, support and resources through games. These are opportunities to meet students where they are at, to give them a place
to connect and feel welcome, and to grow their mental well-being.
Further, Safe Harbor Coronado engages the community at large in a plethora of events and outreach programs. Love and Logic, and the Positive Parenting Program are offered several times a year to help parents find support and resources in the challenging arena of parenting. Drug Prevention is an annual program at Coronado Middle School that educates sixth graders about the dangers and consequences of choices around drugs and alcohol. Each May, Safe Harbor Coronado sponsors a Mental Health and Wellness Fair that brings other community organizations together to advocate, educate and connect the community with local resources for health and wellness. In conjunction, Safe Harbor participates and partners with many local organizations from back-toschool nights, to Halloween Happenings, to the Flower Show, to Rosie the Riveter Day with the Girl Scouts, to the Art and Wine Festival, to Month of the Military Child events, and beyond. Safe Harbor is present to serve our community in a variety of ways and help all community members grow feel supported and find resources.
Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of Safe Harbor Coronado is the Aloha Club. Akin to a military ombudsman, Safe Harbor Coronado aims to be a liaison between the families and all the available resources and programs in the community. When new families move here, the Aloha Club aims to personally welcome each new family with a hand delivered, curated welcome bag full of local resources, treats and health and wellness tips and supports. Then, if interested, each new family is matched with an existing community member so that they automatically have a connection and someone they can ask questions, give support or provide resources. In these ways, new families immediately have what they need to make their transition to a new community as seamless as possible.
Finally, Safe Harbor Coronado offers in person counseling. There are 2 committed and caring counselors on staff that are available to serve the community needs. Counseling is available for short or long term clients and the fees are on a sliding financial scale to help everyone get the help they needed regardless of financial status.
Again, Coronado is a fortunate community with organic connections and organizations like Safe Harbor Coronado that help support and build our community skills, supports and resources. No matter your demographic, Safe Harbor is here to help all Coronado residents build lasting mental well-being. Together, we can build connections, find support, get resources and navigate life’s challenges with resiliency and strength.
Safe Harbor Coronado provides comprehensive mental health services to youth and families in Coronado. Through a range of programs and counseling services, Safe Harbor Coronado empowers individuals to build resilience and emotional well-being while fostering a stigma-free environment for help-seeking behaviors. Safe Harbor’s programs are available to all members of the Coronado community, regardless of financial means.

160 Years of Alice in Wonderland
By Jacqueline Luna
In Coronado we usually talk about heading off down the yellow brick road, but starting May 19 you can head down the rabbit hole with the Coronado Public Library’s Alice in Wonderland exhibit! This year marks the 160th anniversary of the publication of the beloved tale by Lewis Carroll. To honor that, the Library will host a unique exhibit celebrating 160 illustrators who have brought Alice and her world to life.
The Legacy
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is among the most illustrated stories of all time. This began with Carles Lutwidge Dodgson himself- or as we know him: Lewis Carroll. He not only created his own drawings for the original manuscript but was also very particular about finding the right illustrator for the book. Renown illustrator John Tenniel was selected and his vision of Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat remains as some of the most recognizable imagery in literature today. Since his iconic creation, countless illustrators and artists have brought their own interpretations of Alice to life. This exhibit will feature 160 illustrators ranging from John Tenniel to world-famous artists like Salvador Dalí.
Alice has been in continuous publication since 1865 and has been in the public domain since 1907. With approximately forty-five British and thirty American illustrators, the exhibit also features artists from Russia, Ukraine, Spain, France, Croatia, Estonia, and beyond. In addition to the English editions, visitors will see translations in Russian, Spanish, French, Farsi, Hebrew, and Japanese, highlighting Alice’s global reach. Through this exhibit, visitors will see how different artistic movements and generations have influenced depictions of Wonderland through time. From surrealist interpretations to minimalist designs, each illustrator has left their unique mark on Alice’s world.
Bringing Wonderland to Life
To create the exhibit, the library carefully scanned illustrations from delicate, historic editions, using both high-resolution flatbed scanning and specialized photography techniques to preserve even the most fragile books. These high-quality images will supplement the books on display. Printed on posters and available to view on a dedicated video display, they will allow all 160 illustrators to be viewed at once.
Exhibit Curators Kelly Andrade and Ashley Chase shared “We also love the sense of whimsy with an edge that both the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the accompanying illustrations provide the reader, so we are looking forward to pulling some of that quirky creativity out into the physical space of the gallery.”
One of the more interesting aspects of Alice’s evolution is how her depiction has changed through time. Did you know that Alice’s blue dress wasn’t originally part of Carroll’s book? Early illustrations varied widely in their depictions of Alice’s clothing and appearance. However, Disney’s 1951 animated adaptation cemented the blue dress as her most iconic look, influencing illustrators for decades to come.
Continuing the Artistic Legacy
In addition to main exhibit, the library will host a complementary art show featuring winning entries from a special
Kelly Andrade
Alice-themed art contest which was held this Spring. Artists of all ages shared their own imaginative takes on Wonderland. From redefining iconic scenes to reimagining favorite characters to more traditional depictions, these original works show the creativity and imagination of these fantastic artist. Selected pieces will be on display for all to see in the Teen Library through August 2025.
This extraordinary exhibit is made possible through the generosity of an anonymous lender, whose passion for Alice’s legacy has brought this celebration to life.
Don’t miss your chance to step through the looking glass. 160 Years of Alice opens May 19 and runs through August 2025. Visit cplevents.org for upcoming programming on the exhibit.

IN COLLABORATION WITH CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
MOTHERS DAY HISTORIC HOME TOUR
BY CAROL PASTOR, CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION VOLUNTEER PHOTOS COURTESY OF CORONADO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
Many families have their staple Mother’s Day tradition, whether it is making mom breakfast in bed or taking her out on a shopping trip. Looking into the history of Mother's Day in the United States, we know it began back in 1907 when Anne Jarves of Philadelphia held a memorial service at her mother’s church in West Virginia. It only took five years for this event to spread across the nation. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday. Not long afterward, gifts and cards became a key part of Mother's Day celebrations. Today, our community flowers will be on sale all over town and no doubt cards will fly off the shelves.
A mother reads to her children. Date unknown. Coronado Historical Association Collection.
But here in Coronado, the special tradition is to take mothers, grandmothers, and daughters on the Coronado Historical Association’s annual Historic Home Tour. The home tours here in Coronado started back in the 1970s and 80s, originally as a Christmas Tour. In 2004, CHA moved it to be on Mother’s Day and it’s been a tradition ever since.
Each year, five or six homes are presented, graciously offered by their owners. The tour offers homes from cottages to mansions here in Coronado. It does not matter if you have done the tour in the past as each year is different and offers a different theme. Past tours have highlighted works by local builder F. C. Winchester, celebrated the architectural variety along Glorietta Boulevard, and highlighted numerous properties with classic architecture built before World War II. As with every tour, homes aren’t announced until the day of, so it is delightful to be surprised by what homes are open!

Throughout the tour, volunteer guides are posted in each home to greet you and answer questions. They are trained in the history of the home as well as the homeowner’s most noteworthy decor. On occasion, a garden is on show as well. This very busy event has over 100 volunteers who work together for months to bring this momentous event to fruition. The tour has even brought together multiple generations of volunteers, such as hostess Bobbi O’Conner and her daughter Cathleen Ring or 2023 Chairs and mother-daughter team Anne Stockdale and her mother Jean Watson.

All-in-all, the Historic Home Tour is a lovely way to spend time with a mother or other loved ones on that special day. Again this year we say “Don’t miss the Home Tour if you can help it.” It sells out every year so get your tickets early. More information and tickets are available at coronadohistory.org.
• Carol Pastor and her family have lived in Coronado since the mid-1970s. Mother of seven girls, many of whom still live here in the village, Carol has been involved in the community over the years with the Friends of the Library, Historic Resource Commission, and most recently writing about Coronado history for the Coronado Historical Association. An avid history buff since her college days, exploring our local history is a perfect fit.

CORONADO CONCERT BAND
Then & Now
In 1886, even before the opening of the Hotel del Coronado, the Coronado Beach Company built a dance pavilion and bandstand on the beach offering free concerts to beachgoers. Four years later, in 1900, Tent City was established south of the Hotel, and at its heart stood the dance and band pavilion, an architectural centerpiece topped with a striking cupola.
center of Spreckel’s Park was built, showcasing performances for the Coronado community.

The inaugural dance was held on Saturday night, June 30, 1900. By June 1901, the Pavilion had expanded to three times its original size. The lower level housed a theater and restaurant, while the upper floor hosted a bandstand where bands, such as the one led by Henry Ohlmeyer, entertained guests with daily concerts. The Tent City Concert Band performed for guests on-site but also embarked on promotional tours to entice new visitors and showcase the resort’s charm. In 1903, the famed composer and conductor John Philip Sousa performed, his appearance further cemented the resort’s status as a cultural and entertainment destination.

Today, Coronado still boasts its own Concert Band. The Coronado Concert Band, established in 1997, plays seven free concerts a year for the community at a variety of events. Volunteer musicians from Coronado and surrounding areas rehearse every Thursday under the direction of Frederick Lee. The Coronado Concert Band opens the Summer Concerts in the Park season every Memorial Day weekend with the first Promenade Concert of the season. The band’s repertoire is diverse, tailored for the occasion and with something for everyone.
Come and be entertained by the Coronado Concert Band on Sunday, May 26th at 4:30 for the opening of the 2025 Summer Promenade Concert Series in Spreckels Park. You’ll be glad you did!
On opening day in the summer of 1914, a record-breaking 10,000 guests flooded the resort. Vacationers mingled with military personnel as World War I broke out, creating a uniquely American blend of leisure and patriotism. Musical performances often carried patriotic themes, and military balls became a regular highlight of the summer calendar. Tent City closed in 1939 to make way for the Silver Strand Highway. Its legacy lives on in the memories, photographs, and cultural heritage of Coronado.
Music still echoed through Coronado’s coastal breezes and summer nights. In the 1970’s Coronado’s Sunday Concerts in Spreckels Park began. In the early 1980’s the Gazebo in the

Pulling Mussels (from a shell)
Moules Frites and other great ways to eat Mollusks
By Clyde Van Arsdall IV
Not just an iconic Squeeze song from 1980, Pulling Mussels (from a shell) is one of my favorite things to do. I eat them from a bowl, I eat them from a can, I do like mussels, Sam I am. Despite the price increase over the years, mussels remain a remarkably affordable way to impress family and friends. With minimal effort, you can steam up a bowl of these delicious bivalves with some grilled bread or, if you're feeling adventurous, frites (French fries)—Voilà, a centerpiece fit for a king, a culinary delight that won't break the bank.
Cioppino at Sotto Mare, North Beach, San Francisco.
I like to eat mussels in three ways, but four preparations, one of which is simply a variation of the other. The first method, which is by far the easiest, is straight from the can. Tinned fish are my new obsession, so stay tuned for that story next month. Mussels from a can are simply divine. Smoked, spicy, or lemon herb mussels from Patagonia Provisions, a few crackers, butter, hot sauce, and you are off to the races. I never knew luxury could be this easy, but I am hooked. The versatility of mussels allows for culinary experimentation, and I'm always eager to try new variations.
The most classic preparation is to steam mussels in a broth. The variations are endless, and I am an equal opportunity eater regarding mussels. While the little nuggets in the shells are the focus, the broth is where the magic happens. It's not just a liquid,
it's a rich and flavorful complement to the mussels. Even though I am Dutch, our name Van Arsdall means from Arsdallen. The town of Ardallen existed in modern-day Belgium and was part of the Dutch Republic. My historic ties to Belgium make me nostalgic for Moules Frites. Add French fries to anything, and I am in. If you include that garlicky mayonnaise, shut the front door, you have my attention.
While I seldom turn down a French fry when eating mussels, I am a bigger fan of grilled bread. The bread is much more efficient at soaking up the broth the mussels are bathing in. Note to every restaurant that serves mussels this way: Two pieces of bread are never enough, and you know this. So stop making the guest ask for more, throw a couple more pieces out there, or serve less broth because it is a sin to leave this gold behind.
Canned Mussels served on crackers with good butter and hot sauce.
As I said, the broth game is endless, but traditionally, it is simply shallots, garlic, white wine, and parsley. I love tradition and lean this way more times than not, but I do love a bit of an asian version that includes coconut milk, ginger, and cilantro. The versions with curry don't suck either, god I love this shell game.
I usually order too many mussels to have some left over for pasta the next day. I simply dig out all the extra mussels and refrigerate them. Buying an additional pound of mussels yields a generous cup of meat.
My favorite pasta dish with these glorious leftovers is linguine in a cream sauce with mussels, fennel, and garlic. I purchase fresh pasta from Assenti’s in Little Italy, shave a bulb of fennel and a generous amount of garlic, and I like the good Strauss heavy cream you can find at Boney’s. This pasta dish is a meal you will look forward to and a reason to steam mussels in the first place. If you are lazy and hate to eat well, you could make this dish with frozen or canned mussels, but you would miss out on a four-star meal the night before. But you do you, and I will keep buying stretchy pants.
Purchasing pro tip: I like to buy my mussels at Catalina Offshore Products off of Morena Boulevard. The access is easy, the people are fantastic, and the little market is packed full of goodies I can never resist
Traditional steamed mussels at home.
buying while I am there. Make sure the mussels you buy are closed, not open. They do a good job checking at Catalina Offshore. If you want someone to cook mussels for you, look no further than Little Frenchies. When I wrote this, they had two versions of steamed mussels on their menu. Coronado Brewing Company has a killer bowl of mussels they run as a special, let's see if I can get them to run it when this article goes to print.
What to drink: A minerally, crisp, zingy white wine, like French Muscadet or Chablis, would be a good pairing. I also like a good pilsner, like Stella Artois.
Great Recipe: Moules Marinières (A Classic French Preparation). When researching various preparations for this article, I found a recipe by Serious Eats titled The Best Moules Marinières (Sailor-Style Mussels). I loved this recipe and will reach for it again.

13 Years in the Making
A Dream Come True for Our Retail Store in Coronado
By Jessica Nicolls + Karyn Molina
After 13 years of dedication and service to the Coronado community, we are beyond thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in our journey. Our dream location at 1158 Orange Avenue is officially becoming home to our very own retail store, and we couldn’t be more excited to open our doors to the public.
This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support of some incredible women who have been pillars of small businesses in our community for years. We’re honored to join Jori Fentiman of Seaside Papery, Alexa Morganer Hosn and Irma Hosn of Paris & Me, and Marianne Berta of La Mer on this vibrant block of entrepreneurs. Together, we’re creating a unique and welcoming space that reflects the community and creativity.
We are so grateful for these women who played a key role in helping us secure our new location. Their collaboration and shared vision for the future of this block have made this move possible. We’re eager to work alongside them, participating in future events and sales, and contributing to the ever-growing energy of this exciting neighborhood.
We are also incredibly grateful for the support of our families and friends, who have been with us every step of the way. From providing encouragement and advice to showing up to lend a helping hand throughout the entire process, their love and dedication have meant the world to us. Especially our Husbands, Tony Molina and Kraig Nicolls who have made our labor of love theirs as well over the years, we couldn’t have done this without them.
And of course, a heartfelt thank you goes to our amazing clients. It is because of your trust and loyalty over the years that this opportunity has become a reality. Your belief in our vision and your continued support have been the foundation of everything we’ve achieved. We are so grateful for your patronage, and we’re excited to continue serving you in this new chapter.
In this new space, we’re expanding our offerings to meet even more of your needs. Of course, we will still carry our signature furniture, home accessories, and lighting, but we’re adding exciting new product lines to complement your lifestyle. Look for more kitchen staples, unique jewelry pieces, and thoughtfully curated gifts that will make your shopping experience truly special.
One of the most exciting partnerships we’re announcing is our exclusive collaboration with Flamingo Estate. We’ll be the only retailer in Coronado to carry their luxurious candles, olive oils, soaps, lotions, and pantry items. These products have been carefully selected to enhance the sensory experience of your home, and we’re thrilled to bring them to you.
We will also be exclusively carrying The Coronado Club merchandise in our new location and collaborating with other local vendors as well.
As we work quickly to transform our new space, you’ll notice a fresh coat of paint, beautiful new lighting, and a design that stays true to our signature aesthetic. We are also thrilled that this location will allow us to carry larger furniture pieces, which we know will excite those who are looking to elevate their homes in a more substantial way.
For the past 13 years, it has been our privilege to serve the Coronado community as interior designers, helping you create spaces that are as beautiful and functional as they are personal. We are so proud of the relationships we’ve built and the trust you’ve placed in us. As we look ahead to the next 13 years, we can’t wait to continue doing what we love in this incredible city.
We invite you to follow along on our journey, as we prepare to open our doors in early May 2025. Stay tuned to our social media accounts for updates and announcements — we can’t wait to welcome you into our new store and celebrate this exciting milestone with you!
Here’s to the next chapter, and thank you for being part of it. We look forward to seeing you soon!

MONTHLY TIPS FOR TIMELESS with Marilyn
A BEAUTIFUL MIND BEAUTY
By Marilyn Klisser
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to have a healthy and beautiful mind.
We often talk about beauty in terms of skin, hair or style — but beauty is not just about how we look — it’s about how we see. I truly believe that beauty begins with our mind by how well we perceive and treat ourselves and others.
To me, a beautiful mind is one that is present, kind and curious.
The Power of Being Present (and curious)
In today’s screen-obsessed world, our minds are more overstimulated than ever, and often we are more disconnected too. Just the other day, I was driving down Orange Avenue, observing all the things I was passing by, as I love to do — soaking in the trees, the flowers, the buildings and people. But just about every single person I saw was looking down. At the bus stop. In their cars at stop lights. Even while walking. Everyone’s eyes were glued to their phones. It makes you wonder what beauty are we missing when we forget to look up? What cute puppy walking by could bring a smile to our face? What might we notice that could intrigue us, or inspire us, or help us feel empathetic or nostalgic. There is beauty in every moment — if we’re willing to notice it. Look up from your phone. Notice the jacarandas blooming; the stranger’s outfit you love; the sun cutting through the clouds just right. These aren’t just small things — they’re the things that anchor us. That bring us back to ourselves.
Kindness is Contagious — So Spread It
Kindness is perhaps the most underrated beauty secret. A kind word or a smile can lift someone’s entire day. It costs us nothing and creates ripples that go farther than we know. In a world full of noise and pressure, choosing to be kind — especially when it’s not easy — is the work of a truly beautiful mind. We've all heard the phrase, "you never really know what other people may be going through." And I love the quote by Ian Maclaren, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”
The Impact of Bullying — Children and Adults
Sadly, bullying hasn’t disappeared — in fact, it’s even multiplied. Now, it's not only in person, it's online too. If you're a parent, I urge you to watch the new television mini-series, Adolescence. It offers a raw, eye-opening look into the challenges and hidden dangers young people may face today. This is not something to watch with your children, but I believe every parent needs to see it, to help better understand potential situations your child may be exposed to and how to protect them.
Parents, please remember that Safe Harbor, our local non-profit dedicated to enhancing the emotional and behavioral health of youth and families, offers their support through educational workshops, community connected events and accessible counseling services to strengthen family dynamics and promote mental well-being. You can reach Safe Harbor at (619) 522-6884.
For adults as well, social media can be tough. It can be a toxic mirror, distorting our self-image and warping our mental health if we are not careful. A beautiful mind is resilient, but it’s also protected. Protect your peace. Be careful what you're watching. Take breaks. Don’t be afraid to unfollow anything — or anyone — that dims your inner light. In today's world, we all need positivity, kindness and hope.
The Epidemic of Loneliness
We are more digitally connected than ever, yet loneliness is at an all-time high and affects millions of people. A beautiful mind is nurtured through connection — not just texts or "likes", but actual face-to-face moments "in person" with others, shared laughter, confiding in someone, quiet understanding. Sometimes just sitting with someone in silence is more healing than a thousand words on a screen. We all have a real need to feel connected, heard, understood and valued. If you can give someone your undivided attention even for a moment and truly focus on what they are sharing with you, repeating it back in other words to them so they know you really heard them, it can regulate their nervous system, alleviating feelings of isolation and loneliness.
How to Cultivate a Beautiful Mind
• Unplug regularly. Give your brain space to rest and just be. Maybe set times for yourself that you will not be on the phone, like not while driving. (We shouldn't anyways, for safety.) Or maybe you choose not to use your phone, for one hour prior to going to bed for the night (you'll probably sleep better too). Whatever works for you, just to start weaning yourself off a bit.
• Practice gratitude. Write down three good things each day that you are thankful for.
• Be curious, not judgmental. It’s easier on your mind and others.
• Protect your boundaries. Mental beauty includes saying no to protect yourself.
• Invest in your inner life. Read, walk, talk and breathe deeply. Therapy, journaling, dance or even just crafting and making art — these all count!
Taking care of our mental health uplifts humanity because a healthier world begins one healed mind at a time.
Let's keep our minds beautiful, tending to them like a garden. Let's pull the weeds, plant beautiful thoughts and intentions and let the light in!

Read, Relax & Repeat
By Jacqueline Luna
Most of us have used reading as an escape at some point. We've traveled to Terabithia, dodged orcs in Mordor, gone through the wardrobe into Narnia, met Mr. Darcy or discovered the secret to the universe is the number 42.
In honor of Mental Health Month, it’s a great time to remember that reading can be more than just an escape — it’s a powerful way to reduce stress. Whether you’re looking for practical advice or your next literary adventure, the library has you covered. Learn concrete ways to manage stress with books like 10% Happier, The Upside of Stress, Burnout, by Dan Harris or Under Pressure, by Lisa Damour. Try out mindfulness using Practicing Mindfulness, by Matthew Sockolov or Declutter your Mind, by Barrie Davenport and S J Scott.
If you aren’t sure where to start looking for your next read, try NoveList, a free library resource that helps you discover books by genre, mood or read-alikes for your favorite authors. Whether you're into historical fiction, graphic novels or heartfelt memoirs, NoveList can guide you to your next literary escape. Visit coronadolibrary. org to explore this exciting resource. If you’re interested in a wilder way to tackle life’s stresses, don’t miss bestselling author Carl Hiaasen on May 22. He’ll be
discussing his latest wild ride, Fever Beach with Dean Nelson. In true Carl Hiaasen fashion, the book kicks off with a rainy-day hitchhiker pickup and spirals into a hilarious, razor-sharp romp through Florida’s most absurd corners. It's a wild ride through greed, extremism and botched schemes in the Sunshine State. Hiaasen will speak on the inspiration behind the novel, his take on Florida’s strange and sensational underbelly, and more at one his first events for his latest book.
Looking for a more hands on option?
Take a Gale course on writing to channel your emotions into a creative outlet or learn a new language with the Mango app to challenge your mind in a new way. Adults can unwind with our Zentangle workshop on May 8 — no art experience needed. Zentangles are miniature pieces of abstract art that use repetitive patterns to encourage mindfulness. Teens can get crafty creating their own mini Zen gardens on May 7. Music is another wonderful way to relieve stress and reduce anxiety. This month, the library will host two concerts. The Adam
Wolff Trio will perform jazz standards and much more at their concert on May 9. Featuring old and new favorites, you’ll be sure to enjoy the toe tapping melodies of the group.
On May 30, the Kundert Viola Trio will unite the exceptional talents of violists Kirsten Docter, Lynne Ramsey and Ellen Craig, three artists whose shared passion and refined expertise create a powerful musical presence. With experience including the Cleveland Orchestra and international festivals, these talented musicians will showcase the expressive landscape of the viola with an unforgettable performance.
May is also Asian and American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Month and the Library will host a variety of programs to celebrate. Kids can sculpt a koi fish on May 5 and May 19, and teens are invited to make their own unique candy sushi creations on May 14.
On May 13, attend a special author event featuring four dynamic authors in partnership with Adventures by the Book®, a community aimed at connecting readers with authors. Featuring New York Times bestselling author Alka Joshi, TikTok and Instagram megastar and founder of Ahnest Kitchen Sarah Ahn; debut novelist and attorney Rosa Kwon Easton; and New York Times bestselling author Kristina McMorris, this special event will offer unforgettable conversations and a unique celebration of AAPI voices.
