Ferragosto!Summer is here and so is our first gathering since the pandemic!!! Come celebrate Ferragosto with us at Golden Gardens Park Beach, 15 Agosto! We have reserved some picnic tables complete with gazebos for shade and a grill if you have something you want to cook up. Please see additional details and register for this free event! We would appreciate having a few volunteers to help out for a short shift at the picnic tables. Please contact us if you would like to volunteer for this event. We have other volunteer opportunities during the summer also to help us get ready for our in-person Fall programs and a new Music Program on the horizon!!

Thank you!, Board of Directors NewsBiblioteca Italiana Seattle (BIS) BIS is a program of the Italian Cultural Center - Il Punto. We recently relocated BIS to the Casa Italiana building in Burien. We hope the new location will give more people in the greater Seattle area access to this one-of-a-kind collection of literature, children's books, film, and music in the Italian language. Volunteers are currently unboxing and re-shelving books and BIS will be re-opening in the near future. Books, music and film donations are still being accepted.
