PREOWNED PAPERBACKS
Monterey Public Library Friends and Foundation is hosting a booth at the 831 Night Market in Sand City. The booth features a used book sale in addition to kid-friendly activities and giveaways. All proceeds directly benefit the library, and if you want to help out there’s still time to sign up and volunteer.

REALIGNMENT TACTICS
Bike repairs are coming to Greenfield in the form of a bike repair workshop, offering free tune-up and repair services. Bring in your bicycle and be guided through multiple repairs like fixing flat tires, adjusting gears and replacing chains. If you don’t have a bike, you can still stop by. There will be used bikes to fix and take home. You can also bring in a bike to donate, even if it needs repairs.
4-7pm Friday, Aug. 4. Greenfield Community Science Workshop, 45 El Camino Real, Greenfield. Free. 233-8335, ci.greenfield.ca.us.
NAME GAME
Help the City of Salinas name a new park. The city acquired a 73-acre property at Carr Lake back in 2017 as an initial step toward transforming a portion of it into an open community space. Construction is expected to start as early as November, and now it’s time to name the park. Salinas residents are encouraged to invite friends, neighbors and community members to participate and submit a name suggestion.
