Celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Month with us by crafting Kawaii style and creating a super cute key charm or pin that will make you smile. For teens ages 12 – 18.
Kawaii is part of Japanese art history and dates back to early 20th century Japan. In Japanese, Kawaii is defined as an appreciation of cute. Authors Sosae and Dennis Caetano identify crafting Kawaii style in their book Kawaii Craft Life.

Proudly serving the residents of the vibrant City of Huntington Park and neighboring areas, the Huntington Park Library was founded in 1913 and originally housed in the City Hall.
As the library continued to grow, it moved to larger locations in 1924 and 1931. The present library building in the Civic Center was dedicated in 1970.
A significant sculpture designed by artist Tom Van Sant, "Flight Form," was also dedicated in 1970 and is suspended from the second floor ceiling.
An active Friends of the Library group was formed in 1996 to promote and support Library services to the community.
