Welcome to The Savvy Librarian—your go-to guide for discovering the best local libraries, family-friendly events, and budget-friendly finds in Southern California and beyond.
I’m Anna, a mom, MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) student, and lifelong book lover with a passion for connecting families with free resources, bilingual children’s books, and hidden gems in the community. I created this blog to help fellow parents, caregivers, and curious readers make the most of what’s already around them—from library databases to local storytimes, seasonal activities, and small businesses worth supporting.
Here on the blog, you’ll find:
- Curated book recommendations (especially bilingual picture books and holiday reads for kids)
- Step-by-step guides to library resources and free eBooks
- Honest reviews of local events, kid-friendly spots, and affordable family activities
- Creative ideas for goodie bags, crafts, and educational fun at home
I also run a growing social media presence and Amazon storefront, where I share product finds for moms, pets, home life, and health care.
Whether you’re here to plan your weekend, build a more enriching home library, or just find new ways to save money and have fun with your kids, I’m so glad you stopped by.
Let’s explore, read, and thrive—one local gem at a time.
