Elizabeth Zott is an ambitious and accomplished scientist and is determined to be just that—and only that. Cupid’s arrow hits and the next thing you know she’s a mother and a TV cooking star. But in changing the kitchens of 1960s America, Zott also challenges the status quo of society. Lessons in Chemistry is a fun read about a fearless and strong-willed woman who dares to be herself in any circumstance.

About the branch

Founded in 1917, the new 16,000 square foot library was dedicated on December 14, 2013. It replaced the old 7,700 square foot circular library constructed in 1961. Funding for the new LEED rated library was provided by the City of Pico Rivera and Supervisorial District 1.

It is the larger of the two libraries serving the city and provides support services for two smaller libraries in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.
