橙县图书馆十月活动排满：李敏金来讲座 小朋友读满5本书换免费汉堡
橙县公共图书馆把十月排得满满当当，最抢眼的是三场作家讲座：李敏金（Min Jin Lee）10月12日（周一）晚6:30在La Habra市政厅开讲；Elizabeth Acevedo 10月21日（周三）晚6:30在Laguna Hills社区中心；Walter Mosley 10月28日晚7时在Tustin图书馆，这一场免登记，还限量赠书，先到先得。
万圣节档期也安排上了：10月1日至31日，各分馆举办「Spooky Month」万圣主题月；San Juan Capistrano图书馆的户外电影有10月9日《ParaNorman》、10月16日《Beetlejuice》和11月6日《The Book of Life》，都在晚上6时开场。
另外，西语裔传统月活动持续到10月15日。最让小朋友心动的是In-N-Out的「Cover to Cover」读书俱乐部：10月3日至11月14日，4至12岁的孩子读满5本书（或累计阅读300分钟），就能换一个免费汉堡。
这些活动大多免费，是南加华人家庭周末遛娃的好去处。具体场次可向橙县公共图书馆各分馆查询。

OC Public Libraries Pack October: Min Jin Lee Author Talk, Halloween Movies and a Free-Burger Reading Club
OC Public Libraries have packed October with events, headlined by three author talks: Min Jin Lee on Monday, October 12 at 6:30 p.m. at La Habra City Hall; Elizabeth Acevedo on Wednesday, October 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Laguna Hills Community Center; and Walter Mosley on October 28 at 7 p.m. at the Tustin Library — no registration required for Mosley's talk, with a limited number of free books while supplies last.
Halloween gets its share, too: branches are running a "Spooky Month" from October 1 to 31, and the San Juan Capistrano library's outdoor movie nights feature ParaNorman on October 9, Beetlejuice on October 16 and The Book of Life on November 6, all starting at 6 p.m.
Hispanic Heritage Month programming runs through October 15. And the offer most likely to motivate young readers: In-N-Out's "Cover to Cover" reading club, running October 3 to November 14, gives children ages 4–12 a free burger for reading five books (or 300 minutes).
Most events are free — an easy weekend option for Chinese-American families in Southern California. Check with your local OC Public Libraries branch for details.
