The City of Malibu and the Malibu Library hosted a St. Patrick’s Day event, “Leprechaun Gold Hunt,” at Legacy Park. Children participated in arts and crafts, games, and received prizes, as well as joined in a sing-a-long and listened to a story read by children’s librarian, Leena Walker. Each child received a rainbow pencil and a gold coin redeemable for a free picture book, provided by the Malibu Library. The City of Malibu’s Recreation Assistant Cassie Murphy led the children down a decorated Legacy Park path for a gold hunt. Children searched for the pot o’ gold, filled with gold coins that “Lucky” the leprechaun left behind to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
