Meeting Room

The LA County Department of Mental Health Promotors will provide education about scams and how not to be a victim. For adults.

As technology improves and as the older adult population increases, financial abuse of older adults is becoming more frequent. This presentation defines financial exploitation, identifies common scam techniques, how to identify a scam, and presents tips on preventing scams and dealing with scams.

The LA County Department of Mental Health provides this and other programs to increase awareness of mental health issues and to reduce the stigma surrounding these topics in the community.

About the branch

The original Norwood Library opened on November 22, 1950 as a storefront library at 4772 Peck Road. The library was opened to provide service to residents of the unincorporated area north of the city of El Monte.

The city annexed this area in the early 1960's. Property for a larger site was purchased in 1967. Finally, on April 15, 1977, the new Norwood Library opened at this address.

The library has an active Friends of the Library which strongly supports library programs and services.
