Join the Pico Rivera Library Book Club as we read Lisa See's novel, Lady Tan's Circle of Women, for Women's History Month. For adults.

Tan Yunxian was educated by her grandmother, a female doctor in China, about Chinese medicine and women’s illnesses. She develops a close friendship with a young midwife in training, Meiling, and they vowed to be forever friends. However, Yunxian marries and she is forced to put away her education and training. Despite this, she is able to break free of tradition to treat women of all social classes. Inspired by the true life of a woman physician from 15th century China, this book is a captivating story of women helping each other.

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.
