Visitors to Kevin Moran Park in Saratoga can check out a new book on display: “The Bugliest Bug,” written by Carol Diggory Shields and illustrated by Scott Nash.
The book, which tells the story of an insect talent contest, has been printed on large-format pages on weather-resistant signs along the park’s outdoor path. The project is the result of a partnership between the city of Saratoga, Friends of the Saratoga Libraries and the Santa Clara County Library District.
Kevin Moran Park is located at 12415 Scully Ave.
From now through the end of March, the city of Saratoga is offering free sandbags and loose sand for residents looking to prepare for potential flooding.
The sand will be available for pickup at 19700 Allendale Ave. The city is recommending that residents bring a shovel to fill sandbags and prepare to load heavy bags into vehicles. Residents can also get free, prefilled sandbags from Santa Clara Valley Water at the Winfield Warehouse on 5905 Winfield Blvd. in San Jose.
