All LA County Library locations will be closed on Monday, October 13 in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Our Digital Library is available 24/7.
Join us in celebrating Veterans Day early by watching the film True Whispers: The Story of the Navajo Code Talkers. This documentary honors the Navajo men who joined the U.S. Marines during World War II.
Their unbreakable code made it possible to transmit messages to military forces in the Pacific and became instrumental in winning the war. Following the screening, attendees are encouraged to participate in a small discussion about the issues and topics addressed in the film
Light refreshments served courtesy of Friends of the Huntington Park Library.
Best suited for ages 18 and up.

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.
