Ten Years in the Making
and Just Getting Started
Adecade of cinema, community, and connection — what a journey it’s been. The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) was created from a love of storytelling and a conviction that cinema connects us, illuminating the ties that make us human. Ten years later, that belief burns brighter than ever.
From powerful studio releases to extraordinary independent gems, each film in our lineup carries the heart and craft of its creators — storytellers, artisans, and innovators whose vision keeps the art and science of filmmaking alive. CIFF champions the dreamers who shape stories from imagination into reality, reminding us that behind every frame lies a fusion of creativity, technology, and relentless curiosity.
Merridee Book CEO and Artistic Director Coronado Island Film Festival
Together, we’ve built something far greater than a fiveday festival. We’ve created a living, breathing celebration of ingenuity — a place where stories converge, ideas spark, and the shared heartbeat of an audience reminds us of what it means to be human.
This milestone belongs to all who have carried the torch: our passionate filmmakers, tireless volunteers, generous partners, and the audiences who fill every theater with curiosity and wonder. As we honor the legacy of film on this island and look ahead to the next decade, we do so with gratitude and resolve — to keep the spirit of innovation alive and ensure that industry dreams continue to find their light.
The lights dim, the screen glows, and once again, Coronado reminds us why we believe in the magic of movies.
See you at the movies!

Ten Years of Reel Impact
From humble beginnings to a world-class festival, CIFF celebrates 10 years with vision and heart
November 5-9
When Doug St. Denis, founder of the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF), first envisioned CIFF, it began as a spark — a dream to bring the magic of cinema to our coastal town with its sweeping ocean views. “We incorporated in 2015, launched our first festival in 2016,” St. Denis says. “What began as a grassroots effort has grown into one of California’s most beloved celebrations of film, community, and creativity.”
With her own background as an actress, St. Denis brought the two worlds together, merging a love of storytelling with a commitment to community.
Just over the bridge from downtown San Diego, the Coronado Island Film Festival returns November 5-9, 2025, celebrating its 10th anniversary with five days of cinema, conversation, and community. Over 130 films — spanning narrative features, documentaries, and shorts — will screen across the island’s iconic venues, including the Hotel del Coronado, Village Theater, Coronado Public Library, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and John D. Spreckels Center.
“Reaching our 10th year is more than a milestone; it’s a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the enduring power of story,” says CIFF CEO & Artistic Director Merridee Book. “This lineup reflects where we’ve been and where we’re going: bold, diverse, and future-facing. CIFF honors the golden age of cinema while building a bridge to what’s next — through independent voices, innovation, and community connection.”
CIFF opens Thursday, November 5, with Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire, a gripping psychological thriller with comedic timing, starring Bill Skarsgård, Al Pacino, and Cary Elwes. Based on a real 1977 hostage standoff in Indianapolis, the film examines media spectacle, mental health, and the delicate line between justice and chaos. The festival closes Sunday, November 9, with Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, an intimate story of family, memory, and reconciliation, starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, and Elle Fanning. The lineup fittingly comes full circle with a father-son duo, as both Stellan and Bill Skarsgård appear in the festival’s opening and closing films.
Spotlight on Local and Regional Talent
This year, CIFF shines a light on San Diego and Coronado storytellers. The world premiere of American Solitaire, directed by Aaron Davidman and executive produced by Coronado native Lisa Bruce, explores isolation and resilience with striking cinematic depth. Regional feature Tears to a Glass Eye (dir. Jack Kenny) offers a twist on film noir with cast members expected to attend. Short films from local director Alysha Haran and producing partner Jackie Krichevsky provide fresh, female-driven perspectives from the region, with Haran showcasing an impressive three films in this year’s festival. Among the fourteen shorts tracks, many include multiple local filmmakers, students, and animators.
Centerpiece and spotlight films include Arco (dir. Ugo Bienvenu), Blue Moon (dir. Richard Linklater), Jay Kelly (dir. Noah Baumbach), The Choral (dir. Nicholas Hytner), The Secret Agent (dir. Kleber Mendonça Filho), The Tale of Silyan (dir. Tamara Kotevska), and Train Dreams (dir. Clint Bentley). Additional selections celebrate emerging and international talent, including Billy Knight, Charliebird, and San Diego native Eric Wolfinger’s Lisa Dahl: Blessed by Grace, a Culinary Cinema feature following acclaimed chef Lisa Dahl’s journey through grief, healing, and culinary reinvention.
A Festival of Experiences
CIFF is more than screenings; it’s a living cinematic community. Culinary Cinema: PAIRINGS brings together filmmakers, chefs, and tastemakers to explore how food shapes culture, identity, and resilience. Music lovers can enjoy an intimate in-studio radio interview-turneddocumentary, Paul McCartney: Tug of War, featuring McCartney and Tom Frangione of “The Beatles Channel,” offering a rare glimpse into the stories behind his work and legacy. They will be joined for a full presentation commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Beatles at Balboa Stadium with memorabilia presented by Chuck Gunderson and Bruce Sprizer.
Sunday at CPAC – Family-Friendly Films
Other highlights this year include a curated collection of family-friendly films, recommended for ages 13 and older. On Sunday, Coronado Performing Arts Center (CPAC) will host She Dances, directed by Rick Gomez, with Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn, Wynn Everett, Rosemarie DeWitt, and introducing Steve Zahn’s daughter as the lead actress. This presentation will be followed by Jack Kelly’s Tears for a Glass Eye, recommended for ages 13+, which includes a post-screening Q&A with cast members Natasha Henstridge and Chris Browning. Closing out the theater is the not-to-be-missed Magic Hour, which has been racking up awards on the festival circuit and stars Miriam Shor, as seen in Younger and Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Other family-friendly films include Arco, screening at Village Theater — an animated science fiction fantasy written and directed by Ugo Bienvenu and produced by Natalie Portman — and Charliebird, the directorial debut of actress Libby Ewing, which explores the necessity of medical and emotional care and is recommended for ages 15+.
CIFF Connects: Education, Innovation and Insider Access
Panels hosted during the festival are not only entertaining but also educational, providing insider access on topics ranging from AI and streaming trends to stunt coordination, filmmaking innovation, pitching strategies, and union standards. Highlights include the ever-popular networking and panel event Women on the Move, The Art & Innovation of Filmmaking, and SAG-AFTRA & The Future of Film. New this year, based on past filmmaker feedback, CIFF has added REEL Returns: The Smart Money Behind the Movies.
Free events at the Coronado Public Library include An Interview with Edith Head: Go Behind the Seams, a captivating performance by Susan Claassen that brings Hollywood’s legendary costume designer to life. Film costume historian and author Christian Esquevin provides expert commentary, sharing stories of how Head dressed Hollywood’s leading ladies and redefined glamour on and off the screen — a perfect example of how CIFF connects audiences to the timeless artistry of cinema.
Celebrating a Decade of Connection
CIFF transforms Coronado into a cinematic hub. Community events such as “Avenue of the Stars: Scene & Sip” connect local shops, restaurants, and cafés with festivalgoers, blending culture, history, and the joy of film.
CIFF's First Opening Night Afterparty in the Crown Room, Hotel del Coronado
The annual Jury Awards on Friday, November 7, will honor emerging filmmakers with $20,000 in prizes, underscoring CIFF’s role as a launchpad for visionary talent.
“Featuring the remarkable work of local filmmakers makes this festival moment even more meaningful,” Book notes. “San Diego and Coronado have long been creative forces in film — both in front of and behind the camera. This year’s lineup honors that legacy while championing new voices and visions.”
From our first festival to today, CIFF has grown from a neighborhood dream into a regional and global destination for storytelling and connection. Every November, we witness how film can unite neighbors, generations, and communities. As we step into our second decade, our mission remains simple — celebrate film, honor our community, and keep the magic of cinema alive by the sea.
Merridee Book reflects, “As we roll credits on our first decade, we’re not closing the chapter; we’re setting the stage for an even more dazzling sequel. The future of film isn’t ‘coming soon.’ It’s here, and CIFF is ready to project it in all its brilliance onto the big screen.”
From high-profile premieres to intimate regional stories, CIFF offers a celebration of cinema, community, and the stories that connect us all from November 5-9. Tickets and festival passes are available at festival.coronadofilmfest.com.
In Memoriam
Lance Alspaugh was more than a supporter of cinema; he was its steadfast guardian.
In an era rushing toward digital and IMAX, Lance Alspaugh stood as a keeper of the flame — honoring the craft, the classics, and the irreplaceable experience of the independent movie house. Restoring theaters was never his hobby; it was his calling. Through his work, he preserved not just walls and screens, but the soul of cinema itself — a place where community gathers and generations remember.
As the festival marks its 10-year milestone, it is with a heavy heart that we do so without our greatest champion beside us. We have lost not only a rare and unwavering voice for the preservation of cinema, but a dear friend whose passion, humor, and steadfast belief in the power of community through film will be deeply missed.
When discussing the Village Theatre in a recent interview, he said, “It’s been one of the joys of my life.” Oh Lance, thank you dear friend, a thousand times, for the bright-shining joy you brought to ours.

November Happenings

November brings us cooler nights, leftover candy from Halloween, and thoughts of upcoming holidays. In Novembers past, Coronado has hosted events such as the Coronado Island Film Festival, Hotel del Coronado holiday events, and Shop Small Saturday to get our town into the holiday spirit. Between historic remembrance and modern celebrations, we have plenty to be thankful for this month.
The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF), held this year from November 5-9, is celebrating its 10th year. CIFF is dedicated to showcasing the most inspiring voices in the industry. The event just keeps growing, getting better and better each year. Check to see if tickets are still available — you won’t want to miss out on exciting showings on the silver screen.
Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11th, has a long history dating back to 1916 when it was called Armistice Day in celebration of the end of World War I. The name remained such until 1954, when it was

renamed Veterans Day by President Gerald Ford. Veterans Day was designated as a national holiday to be celebrated annually on November 11th. The true intention behind Veterans Day is dedicating time to honor all American veterans who served in our armed forces.
This year, the Coronado Historical Association is paying special tribute to the 250th Anniversaries of the Navy, Army, and Marine Corps with the new exhibit Remembering D-Day: From the Frontlines to Coronado’s Backyard. The exhibit features artworks from the Naval History & Heritage Command in Washington, D.C. The paintings capture the dramatic events of the Normandy invasion on D-Day from the viewpoint of combat artists.
On signi cant anniversaries such as this one, we take time to remember the local impacts of major con icts. Those of you who grew up in Coronado may remember times during World War II when fathers were shipped off, scrap metal was collected, and there were blackouts.
CHA’s exhibit also tells the powerful story of Staff Sergeant Tom Rice, a Coronado High School graduate who served in the renowned 101st Airborne Division. On D-Day, Rice was the rst in his squadron to parachute out of his aircraft
over Carentan, France. Rice passed in 2022, but not before leaving behind a powerful legacy inspiring countless people with his service. Some of you might recall his 100th birthday jump in 2021, where he parachuted onto the beach in front of the Del.
Just a few weeks after Veterans Day, we continue to show gratitude with Thanksgiving, a national holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. Stories of this day can be found dating back to the harvest feast in 1621 when Pilgrims and Native Americans came together for what is now remembered as the rst Thanksgiving. Though the holiday is originally rooted in that rst celebration, at its core, Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude and re ection that is now widely associated with family gatherings and large meals. Although this is an American tradition, some countries in Europe do celebrate a Thanksgiving Day in October or November, generally. Theirs is usually recognized as a religious holiday.
For many, Thanksgiving is recognized as a time to give thanks for our togetherness — families, friendship, and communities. And so HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.

Tins of Seafood
That Taste Way Too Good to Be Canned
By Clyde Van Arsdall IV
Tinned fish has become increasingly trendy lately, prompting two women-founded companies, Nice Cans and Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co., to target women specifically as potential consumers. Their products, renowned for their exceptional taste, unique flavors, and convenient gourmet cooking, have become favorites among seafood enthusiasts.
In the United States, our experience with canned seafood is often limited to tuna or anchovies. However, there's a whole world of high-end seafood that comes directly from a can. These products not only offer unique flavors and culinary experiences but also bring the convenience of gourmet cooking to your kitchen, making it easier to experiment with new flavors and dishes.
I recently read an article about tin fish, in which the author states that the first time he heard of high-end seafood in a can was while watching Anthony Bourdain on television. I, too, share that experience. Anthony was in Spain at a bar called Espinaler, where the entire menu celebrated tinned fish in all its glorious iterations. While I found it intriguing and the dishes they made with the tins visually appealing, I did not rush out to buy any.
Fast forward to last year, when my girlfriend and I were at a friend's house having dinner, and our hosts offered us sardines on saltine crackers with just a splash of hot sauce. As a chef, I had cooked with anchovies quite a bit over the years, but I had never liked them on their own. For some reason, sardines and anchovies seemed like close cousins. Our friends explained that they had visited a great Michelin-starred restaurant and ordered sardines as an appetizer. The presentation consisted of a tin of sardines on the plate, accompanied by buttered saltines and a dash of hot sauce. Granted, the packaging for tin fish is usually gorgeous, but it seemed like a bold move to simply put a can on a plate. Much to their surprise, the small bite proved to be a revelation.
Okay, that was enough encouragement, and my mama would have scowled at me had I politely declined the sardine appetizer at my friend’s house. As a chef, I seldom turn down an opportunity to try something new, so I made a bold move and took the first bite. To my surprise, it was a delightful discovery. There was a silky umami note with a hint of salt, both from the cracker and the fish. The butter did what butter does, which is make everything that much better,
and the hot sauce provided a quick kick. I loved everything about my first few bites and continued to eat most of the sardines on my own. I could feel my ADHD and the accompanying hyper focus taking hold. I was falling down a rabbit hole of culinary exploration, and I knew it.
I have now become obsessed with tin fish in all its forms. Did I buy a book on the subject? You know I did, and away I went, grabbing tins at every little boutique store I frequent. Pata Negra had lovely tins from Spain, while Catalina Offshore Products had tins of mussels and smoked oysters. I bought white anchovies from Mona Lisa in Little Italy; North Park Produce offered beautifully decorated boxes of tinned sardines from far-off lands; and Specialty Produce had caviar. I ordered tins online — and, well, you get the picture. I have amassed quite a collection.
Once my book The Magic of Tin Fish arrived, I dug in. The first recipe I made was anchovy butter. The book claimed that this butter was magical on a steak. I cooked a prime New York steak in an iron skillet and basted it with a bit of garlic, fresh thyme, and this butter, and it truly gave me pause. Where had this divine spread been my whole life? I have smeared this butter on everything I could think of. Anchovy butter is part of my pantry now and forever. Smoked oysters in a spicy red sauce, on grilled sourdough, yes please. Beer-battered sardines with harissa? Made those and devoured them. I also experimented with anchovies on toast, accompanied by butter, thin radishes, micro Italian
wrong when it comes to food.
I am a tin fish fanatic, and the tins are fun to collect as they last forever. November is the perfect time to get to know tinned fish, as the month really kicks off the season of entertaining for the holidays. With all the cooking ahead, why not let the convenience of tinned fish round out your holiday menus? Try smoked oysters for your Thanksgiving stuffing. Mackerel and cod can be found accompanied by flavorful sauces such as curry or tomato. These tasty morsels, served simply on grilled bread, make a great appetizer. Want something elegant? Try some good caviar to complement your champagne toasts. Buy a book, grab some cans, and enjoy your wine while you focus on the main meal. Let the tins do the heavy lifting while you are in the kitchen or posted up at the grill. Much like a cheese or charcuterie board, you can lay out these tins with a whole host of accompaniments and let your guests enjoy the goodies however they see fit.
I hope you give tinned fish a shot. They have stood the test of time, and just because we are late to the party doesn't mean we can't be the last to leave. Embrace your adventurous side and grab some cans; you won't regret it. Here are some tins currently in my pantry, but the lineup is constantly changing.

Anchovy butter from The Magic of Tinned Fish by Chris McDade
• A tin of high-quality, oil-packed anchovies (approximately eight fillets)
• 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Combine ingredients: In a food processor, combine the softened butter, anchovies, garlic, fennel seeds, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
2. Pulse until smooth: Pulse the mixture until all ingredients are completely incorporated and the butter is smooth.
3. Transfer and store: Use a spatula to transfer the anchovy butter to an airtight container.
It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 6 months.
4. Shape (optional): For easy use, scoop the butter onto plastic wrap and roll it into a log shape before refrigerating or freezing. Once firm, you can cut off slices as needed.
Serving suggestions
• For steak: Top a hot, rested steak with a generous pat of the butter. The residual heat will melt it into a rich, savory sauce.
• With fish: Melt a knob over pan-seared or roasted fish for a burst of flavor.
• On bread: Serve with toasted or crusty bread for a simple and sophisticated snack.
• With vegetables: Toss a spoonful with hot, roasted vegetables.
Note: Double this recipe; you will be glad you did.
Historical Bedroom and Bathroom Transformation
There’s something so special about historic Coronado homes, and this one — built back in the 1930s — recently underwent a remodel that brought out the best of its original charm while adapting it to modern life.
The project focused on the bedroom and bathroom, which had actually been a part of a later addition. While it added a first floor primary suite, it didn’t match the cozy character of the original house. Our goal was to give these spaces a fresh look while making them feel like they had always belonged.
Story & Interior Design by Karyn Molina + Jessica Nicolls of Bungalow 56
Construction by Nicolls Construction | Photos by Samantha Goh Photography After Before
In the bedroom, we preserved the wood beams in the ceiling but the other elements were new additions. We added a wood herringbone floor, new french doors onto the deck, and a more traditional wood wall paneling. The french doors and window over the bed bring in tons of natural light and fresh air.
The bathroom was a complete overhaul. The original bathroom also used to serve as the laundry room. We moved the laundry to the hallway — out of the primary suite altogether — and created a moody, forest-greentiled shower area, a double vanity, and even had room for a soaking tub and separate toilet room. Now, instead of the bathroom feeling like an afterthought, it feels like a showstopper.
Before After
We just love a before and after and this case does not disappoint. What was once a disjointed addition is now a seamless, charming part of the home. This remodel is proof that with thoughtful design, you can respect the history of a home and still enjoy all the perks of modern living.

TheA Giv g of Explained by Ashley Loehr, Founder of The Feel Good Box
By Doreen Genmark Heath
“When we give with intention, we don’t just fill a box; we fill a heart, including our own.”
In a world of quick clicks and overnight deliveries, the lost art of intentional giving is finding its way back home — thanks to Coronado local Ashley Loehr, founder of The Feel Good Box. Her brand isn’t just about beautifully curated gift sets; it’s a love language wrapped in kraft paper and care.
"Our boxes are more than gifts — they’re little invitations to pause, reflect, and connect," says Loehr. "Whether it’s a moment of self-care, a break from the noise, or a thoughtful thank-you, each one is meant to remind the recipient — and the giver — that care and intention matter."
A Box with Heart
Inspired by the idea that gifts can heal, encourage, and uplift, The Feel Good Box blends thoughtfulness with artistry. Each box is intentionally themed to meet someone right where they are — in joy, in healing, in transition, or simply in need of a little self-love.
In Loehr’s world, giving is reciprocal. “It fills the giver just as much as the receiver,” she says. “There’s something deeply restorative about slowing down, choosing with care, and giving with meaning.”
That philosophy shines through her curated collection — each one carrying a gentle message of connection and comfort.

Where Giving Feels Good
Loehr’s passion for meaningful gifting grew from a personal season of reflection — one that taught her that generosity doesn’t need grand gestures. Sometimes it’s a handwritten note, a cup of tea, a candle that says, I thought of you today.
“The Feel Good Box is more than a gift,” she reflects. “It’s a bridge between hearts — a way to remind people that presence, empathy, and care still matter.”
And in that quiet act of giving, something beautiful happens: the giver feels just as lifted as the one who receives.

The Beauty Gratitudeof
Science tells us that showing gratitude can literally make your skin glow! Feeling gratitude balances your hormones and improves circulation, which both lead to that “inner glow.” Showing gratitude reduces stress. When stress in the body is reduced, blood flow returns to the skin’s surface, giving a more vibrant, radiant, healthier appearance. Feeling gratitude strengthens the immune system, improves sleep quality, lowers stress and inflammation, supports heart health, boosts energy, and reduces pain. All of these things lead to a healthier, happier you, and in turn, your inner glow shines brighter.
Practicing Gratitude
Being grateful and practicing gratitude doesn’t mean that there aren’t hard times and difficult things we must go through. It means that even in those challenging moments, we make the effort to look for the things that are good, as simple as they may be.
This Thanksgiving, I invite you to create a daily ritual to practice gratitude.
Beauty of Gratitude Ritual
✿ Every morning, as you get dressed and ready for the day, think of and write down a note of something you’re grateful for. Maybe it’s a good hair day, your long lashes, your skin looking more clear, whatever you can find!
✿ During the day, make someone else’s day and compliment them sincerely. You could tell them how their kindness, courage, or strength inspired you, that you love how they put themselves together, or how they radiate joy.
✿ Finally, give yourself thanks! Your strength, kindness, courage to keep trying, or how you love others are all beautiful things that deserve gratitude.
At Salon On First, we are deeply grateful for you, our clients and community who come through our doors every day sharing your beautiful light and energy with us. After all, beauty isn’t just about how we look; it’s about how we share love, kindness, and connection with each other.
Happy November to you all.
Please remember to feel the love, and feel the gratitude!

Together at the Library A Season for Stories
By Jacqueline Luna
November is for cozy nights, stories, and time together with the people you care about. What better place to bring all of that together than the Coronado Public Library? With storytimes, crafts for kids, teens, and adults, musical events, and more, there’s a space for everyone at our table.
Serving Up Tales with a Side of Spice
It wouldn’t be a month at the library without an author visit. This month, foodies won’t want to miss Pyet DeSpain — winner of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef and author of the debut cookbook Rooted in Fire: A Celebration of Native American and Mexican Cooking — on November 22. Pyet
is short for her inherited Native American name, Pyetwetmokwe. As a proud member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi, she will share how her heritage infuses every recipe with tradition, resilience, and deep respect for the earth. However, Pyet won't be the only award-winning chef in attendance at this event, as she will be in conversation with MasterChef winner Claudia Sandoval!
With appearances on Chopped, Worst Cooks in America, Tournament of Champions, Grudge Match, and more, Sandoval will bring her unique experiences to a conversation that will be worth savoring, bite by bite.
Literacy for All
Did you know attending storytime offers so much more than just a fun outing? For the little ones in attendance, it builds early literacy skills, sparks imagination, and promotes social interaction in a welcoming environment. Storytime helps teach littles how to focus and listen in preparation for going to school. For families, it creates shared moments of fun while introducing parents and caregivers to songs, rhymes, and reading strategies they can use at home. Storytime also fosters a lifelong love of books and learning — one story, one song, and one giggle at a time. The library offers several different storytimes weekly,
each geared towards a specific age group (but don’t worry, we don’t check IDs! All kids are welcome at each session.)
• Mondays: Baby Storytime is full of songs, fingerplays, and playtime geared for ages 0-2.
• Tuesdays: Toddler Storytime is geared for ages 2-4 and features stories, songs, movement, and more.
• The first Wednesday of each month: Bilingual Storytime features stories and songs in Spanish and English for ages 0-5.
• Fridays: Preschool Storytime has longer stories, songs, and more all geared for ages 3-5.
Each month, we also have special musical storytime takeovers! Don’t miss fanfavorite Ralph’s World as
he takes over Toddler Storytime on Tuesday, November 25, for a session full of songs that kids and their grown-ups will love! Geared towards littles, kids of all ages will bop along to music and fun during his set. But the play doesn’t stop there. Catch the Play Fairy on Monday, November 24, as she sets up a world of imagination for kids to explore. Rooted in the concept of free-play, this fantastic event encourages kids to get creative with toys both familiar and new!
The Library at Your Fingertips
Coronado has a rich military history and many of our families have direct ties, both current and past. Have you ever been curious about the military service of a family member? In honor of Veterans Day, the Library is celebrating its online military record resource site, Fold3. Did an uncle serve in Korea? Was a great-great-great grandparent in the Civil War? With records from the American Revolution to the war in Afghanistan, this incredible site provides access to millions of records, photos, personal documents and memorial pages that bring veterans’ experiences to life. For example, when the author searched for her own two grandfathers — one a career Marine and the other a World War II veteran — she uncovered fascinating details about their service she’d never known before. Whether you know all about a family member’s service history or you are looking for the first time, you’re sure to discover fascinating new information.
November is National Native American Heritage Month, a chance to reflect on the rich and diverse stories of Native American and Alaska Native cultures. It’s a history woven from resilience, creativity, challenges, and triumphs that
continue to shape our nation today. Explore their stories with Indigenous Life in America, an online resource provided by the library. You can dive into the stories of famous First Peoples like Powhatan or Little Turtle, learn more about the Code Talkers, or explore early societal practices.
The library has many more online resources than just these two, so make sure to check out everything we offer — from ebooks to streaming movies, access to Consumer Reports and the New York Times, online classes, and so much more!
Just as a good meal uses many ingredients, this month, as always, the library is here to provide many warm, family-friendly opportunities to gather and learn. Whether you’re stirring up curiosity at storytime, savoring history in our digital collections, or simply looking for your next great read, the library has everything you need.
Book Clubs!
Check out the Library’s book club lineup for November:

Wild at Heart, Bold in Bloom, and Just Enough Roar : The 104th Annual Coronado Flower Show
By CFA Co-President, Colby Erickson Freer
Each spring, the island of Coronado doesn’t just bloom. It comes alive. From palm-lined streets to flower-filled porches, the town erupts with color, scent, and spirit. For more than a century, the Coronado Flower Show has captured that magic, growing into the largest tented flower show in the nation and one of Southern California’s most cherished community traditions. This coming year in 2026, the Coronado Floral Association is proud to present Welcome to the Jungle, wild at heart, bold in bloom, and with just enough growl to keep things interesting — a theme that is vibrant, textured, and full of possibility.
Welcome to the Jungle is where the flowers are ready to rock and roll. A living, breathing adventure inspired by the layered textures of tropical flora, the dramatic bloom of bird of paradise, and the wild song of the green parrots that have, for generations, streaked through the skies and settled into the stories of island life. It is also a tribute to the expansive tree canopy that defines our island's natural character, casting shade, color, and depth across the neighborhoods we call home. The theme celebrates nature’s rhythm and riot, from heliconias to hibiscus, while honoring the grounded, clippedfrom-the-yard beauty of the perfect rose to the curious bird of paradise popping out to see what is going on in spring. It is a call to create something wild, with purpose.
Floral installations will pulse with energy, bursting with unexpected color and vine-draped drama. Themed exhibits will twist and climb through the park like jungle trails, while local
designers bring their boldest visions to life across divisions. Instagramworthy moments will bloom at every turn, offering guests the chance to capture the show’s wild spirit in full color. A curated vendor village and artisan shopping stalls will add texture to the experience, while live entertainment keeps the rhythm moving throughout the weekend. Performers, musicians, and dancers (some with just the right touch of jungle flare) will bring an unmistakable energy to Spreckels Park. At the center of it all, the Wine and Beer Garden will provide a vibrant social hub where locals and visitors alike can raise a glass and take in the view.
For younger explorers, the Children’s Section offers a vibrant, handson experience where kids can engage with flowers through themed activities, creative exploration, and interactive learning. It is the perfect entry point for budding garden lovers to begin their adventure. And don’t miss the growing Photo Division, where creativity meets the lens. Expect bold, wild moments captured through the eyes of the community, each one roaring with floral personality.
Beyond the Tents, Welcome to the Jungle spills across the island. Local storefronts, restaurants, and gathering places will be invited to dress in theme with growing vines, bold floral displays, artistic installations and special offerings that extend the show’s footprint into the village itself. The result is a shared creative celebration that winds its way through every corner of Coronado.
Of course, tradition continues to bloom. Home Front Judging, a beloved pre-show event, will once again honor the thoughtful beauty of Coronado’s gardens and porches. Timeless, classic, and true to the community’s roots, it offers a moment of quiet elegance ahead of the weekend’s roar. On Saturday morning, guests are invited to explore the winning homes during Best in the Village, a self-guided walking tour of Coronado’s most stunning residential entries.
Rise and Bloom offers a sacred pause before the gates open. It is a moment to center ourselves with quiet breath & steady movement. This is a newer Event in the Tent promising to bring the morning sounds of birds chirping under the park canopy and just enough roar to awaken the jungle within. If we are lucky, a green parrot will grace us with a morning hello.
And when the sun dips behind the palms, The 1922 (formally called The 1922 Club) returns as a moonlit jungle hideaway for one night only, in the tents, under the lights. With exotic design, animals that prowl,
wild winds, and the possibility of a little rock and roll glimmer, the party promises to be the island’s most unforgettable soirée of the season.
But Welcome to the Jungle is not limited to one weekend in April. The theme is set to spill beyond the tents into storefronts, school programs, garden tours, and partnerships with local organizations focused on conservation, education, and community. It is a yearlong invitation to explore, create, and connect. The newly launched Coronado Flower Club brings the community together, adding fresh energy to CFA membership through curated events, seasonal newsletters, and vibrant happenings that keep Coronado blooming all year long.
The show remains entirely volunteer-powered, offering opportunities for everyone. Children, families, master gardeners, first-time designers, long-time residents, and guests from around the globe are invited to participate. Whether entering a single bloom, designing a full installation, or simply wandering through the tents in awe, there is a place for all in Coronado’s jungle of possibilities.
Welcome to the Jungle. Let’s grow wild, together.

A Life of Service Behind the Lens
Amy
Forsythe has spent more than three decades telling the stories of those who serve. An awardwinning military photojournalist, she first put on the uniform as an enlisted U.S. Marine and went on to complete nearly 18 years in the Corps before continuing her service as a U.S. Navy Reserve officer. She recently retired at the rank of lieutenant commander after her final assignment as a Public Affairs Officer with Naval Special Warfare in Coronado, California.
Across 32 years in uniform, Amy served five combat tours and deployed around the world to document military operations with courage and precision. When not downrange, she brought that same dedication to her work as a television reporter covering everything from humanitarian crises and wildfires to active-shooter incidents and combat operations. Her words and imagery have appeared on Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, Newsweek, Soldier of Fortune, Leatherneck Magazine and many other major outlets.
In 2022, Amy published Heroes Live Here: A Tribute to Camp Pendleton Marines, a deeply personal project that began as a labor of love to capture the memorials and markers honoring the post9/11 generation of Marines
What started as a passion became a collective tribute — a way to “share the courage” of those who wear the uniform and go in harm’s way. Since then, she has spoken to thousands, carrying forward messages of patriotism, service, and sacrifice.
Her leadership and devotion have not gone unnoticed. Amy was named one of Success Magazine’s Top 50 Women of Influence in 2022 and inducted into the San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame the following year in the “Historian” category. She continues to serve in new ways as a special correspondent for KOCT in Oceanside and as an advocate for veteran and community organizations across San Diego County.
A lifelong learner, Amy holds a BA in Communication from California State University San Marcos and a Master of Science in Global Leadership from the University of San Diego. She and her husband make their home in Fallbrook, along with their 10-year-old terrier-mix rescue dog, that they adopted during their time on Guam.
Amy’s journey began in 1993 with her first assignment at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before transferring to Camp Pendleton in 1995, where she served as a combat correspondent. Today, she remains closely connected to the base and surrounding communities, supporting veterans and their families while publishing Amy’s A-List, a newsletter that shines a light on nonprofits serving the military and veteran community.

God bless our Veterans, active military, and their families. Photo taken aboard the USS Midway on Veteran's Day by Katie Karosich.
