Meeting Room

Join us to discuss 'Mister Magic' by Kiersten White. For adults.

In the Everything Book Club we read a variety of genres; we wish to expand our horizons and try to include many perspectives.

Everybody remembers the classic children's TV show Mister Magic, but no one really knows what happened on the last tragic day that shut down production for good. Decades later, the five surviving members of the show's Circle of Friends reunite to piece together the events, and figure out who--or what--Mister Magic really is.

Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required. Please register every individual in your party. This will be used to save your spots in the program. We cannot guarantee availability for any unregistered attendees.

Lancaster Library

Hours

About the branch

The original Lancaster Library was established by the Los Angeles County Free Public Library in October 1912 in the Antelope Valley Union High School which was located on the southwest corner of Tenth Street (now Lancaster Boulevard) and Cedar Avenue. Subsequently, the Lancaster Library occupied space in a local drugstore, the Chamber of Commerce, and the County Justice Court.

In 1950, the Library moved to Fig Avenue and provided library services from this site for the next fourteen years. The expanded Lancaster Library opened on West Avenue J in 1964.

Due to rapid population growth throughout the Antelope Valley, a new library was built in 1995-1996 on Lancaster Boulevard in the Lancaster Old Town Site to provide library services to the residents of Lancaster and the surrounding communities.
