The Coronado Public Library recently hosted author Mac Barnett, the 2025-2026 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. As part of the “Behold, the Picture Book!” theme that Barnett has chosen as his focus in his role as Ambassador, he read aloud from a selection of books and spoke to the joys and importance of picture books.

Barnett found his calling as a storyteller early on, when he enjoyed crafting his own tales of adventure as a kid. It wasn’t until his college years that he felt the pull to write for children. more >>Coronado Public Library Hosts National Ambassador For Young People’s Literature

“Students were able to work directly with hospital professionals, applying what they’ve learned in class to real clinical scenarios - such as suggesting treatment plans for acute stroke patients, recommending rehabilitation exercises following hip replacement surgery, and even interpreting chest x-rays,” explained Luna. more >>Coronado High Students Gain Real-World Experience Through Sharp Coronado Hospital Internship
