Building on an already vibrant schedule of activities offered at the Mentone Senior Center and Library, the San Bernardino County Library is proud to announce a series of monthly educational and enrichment programs tailored for older adults, scheduled for the remainder of the year.
The senior center currently hosts a dynamic lineup of wellness and social activities that differ every month.
