As part of San Diego Museum Month, more than 40 local museums will honor the discount passes and give visitors 50 percent off the regular price of admission. Whether you love art, music, gardens, cars, trains or even surfing, there is a museum or attraction for you. You can visit a wide variety of local museums, including the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, the California Center for the Arts Escondido museum, the Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista and the USS Midway Museum, to name a few. A number of museums in Balboa Park are also taking part in the half-price special such as the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San Diego Air & Space Museum, the San Diego Automotive Museum and the Veterans Museum. Do you have little kids? Check out the New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego. And that is just a sampling of the many attractions. See the complete list. The discount pass is good for up to four people and the same pass can be used to visit each of the participating museums at least once. The passes will be available on Feb. 1 and are valid the whole month of February. Some museums may have fees for special exhibits or programs. You can pick up Museum Month passes at other local libraries, as well as the County’s. The County Library also offers free museum passes for checkout all year round.

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan 28 – February is Black History Month; it’s a time to reflect on the nation’s African-American communities, and America’s diversity. “As a matter of fact,” says author, publisher, and education advocate, David Bruce Smith, “Black History Month has become a global observance. Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland commemorate the contributions made by their residents and citizens of African descent. But, the whole thing started in the U.S.” According to the Library of Congress: “The event was first celebrated during a week in February 1926 that encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.” The commemoration of African-American History was expanded into a one-month observance in February, 1976. “And, what better way to observe the occasion than to pass on the wisdom and knowledge of the past—with a focus on black history—to our children,” says Smith, who co-founded the Grateful American Book Prize with the late Dr. Bruce Cole, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. “Our idea was to expose young people to interesting stories that would create a curiosity about America’s history.” Here are some reading recommendations: * I know Why The Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou * Letter to My Daughter, by Maya Angelou * Black Like Me, by John Howard * Griffin Up From Slavery, by Booker T. Washington * Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, by Frederick Douglass * To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper * Lee Moonwalk, by Michael Jackson * Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain * Having Our Say: The Delany Sisters' * First 100 Years, by Sarah L. Delany and A. Elizabeth Delany About the Grateful American Book Prize: The panel of judges for the 2019 Grateful American Book Prize is now accepting submissions for books published between July 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019. Historically accurate books of fiction and nonfiction written for middle schoolers are eligible for the Prize.

Recycle Old Batteries To Help Protect Your Family And Home (StatePoint) Is it time to finally declutter your junk drawers, closets, attic and basement? If these areas of your home contain used batteries, you’re in good company. One in five consumers store some or all of their used batteries from the past year, according to a recent Nielsen study conducted on behalf of Call2Recycle. Whether it’s electronics packed away in the attic or boxed toys in the basement, old batteries are everywhere. As part of your decluttering efforts, experts say it’s worthwhile to take the time to gather used batteries and properly recycle them. “Responsible ownership of technology products extends to endof-life management of the batteries that power those products,” says Carl Smith, CEO and president of Call2Recycle, Inc. “By properly recycling those old batteries, consumers can help protect people and property.” From old power tools to cordless telephones, cameras, e-readers, tablets and cellphones, many people don’t know what to do with the dead batteries inside their electronics. Indeed, more than half of individuals throwing away battery-operated electronic devices leave the battery attached. To safely and easily recycle the batteries you find, Call2Recycle recommends the following steps: 1. Tape: Protect the ends/terminals with non-conductive electrical, duct or clear packing tape. 2. Bag: Store the taped batteries in a clear plastic bag that closes. 3. Drop: Recycle your rechargeable batteries at a convenient Call2Recycle drop-off location, including retail partners The Home Depot, Lowe’s and Staples. It’s an easy task to complete while running everyday errands. Eighty-six percent of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of a Call2Recycle drop-off location. More information about proper battery disposal can be found by visiting call2recycle.org. To protect your family and home, take the step of recycling your used batteries. It’s a simple way to make a positive impact on the environment and keep the people and property you love safe. There is a battery recycling box inside the Julian Library.
