Join us as we work with Iron-on patches. Iron on patches are different because there is no sewing required, only a hot iron.
Teens will have the choice of ironing on patches to either a reusable canvas gift bag or tote bag and select a limited number of patches per project. We will be using hot irons; therefore, for safety concerns this program is intended for tweens and teens. Limited to one tote bag per attendee.
Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required. Please register every individual in your party. This will be used to save your spots in the program. We cannot guarantee availability for any unregistered attendees. To sign up, see library staff, or register online at Visit.LACountyLibrary.org/Events and filter by location or event date.
This event is held in-person. LA County Public Health strongly encourages masks and physical distancing indoors regardless of vaccination status. Masks will continue to be available for customers upon request. Please see the Guidelines for Attendees during the registration process for more information.
For tweens and teens ages 12 - 17.
The city of South Gate was incorporated in 1923 with a population of about 2,500 residents. The first South Gate Library was opened that same year in a back room of City Hall. Starting in 1931, the County of Los Angeles Free Library began providing library service to local residents.
In 1948, the County of Los Angeles built a library in the South Gate Civic Center, north of California Avenue and Firestone Boulevard. In the 1960's, plans were made to build a larger, more modern public library for the prospering community that was home to several major manufacturers, including General Motors.
In 1973, the Leland R. Weaver Library, named in honor of a former South Gate councilman, was officially opened to the public at its present location on Tweedy Boulevard.
