In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, kids can make their own hojalata, or Mexican tin art, using aluminum foil, pencils, and markers. For ages 5 - 12 with their parent or caregiver.

Hojalata, or tin art, is a form of Mexican folk art made by pressing delicate lines into metal and adding vibrant colors. Kids can emulate the style by using a pencil to 'engrave' lines onto sheets of aluminum foil. They can then paint or color the foil hojalata with markers and even attach their picture to a frame.

So come and learn about Hispanic Heritage Month, which is September 15 - October 15, and made your own beautiful hojalata artwork!

About the branch

Temple City Library was founded when Willa Samson initiated a small lending library in her home. In 1924, Mrs. Samson's rental cottage (9961 Woodruff Avenue) became the first official library site with Mrs. Samson as Temple City's first librarian.

After moving into larger buildings when it outgrew its surroundings, the current library location was opened in 1963.

Temple City Library reopened to the community in May 2022 with renovations which included a new Children’s Area, Community Meeting room, additional seating, laptop vending machine, Civic Art installation, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
