Make your own lantern to serve as a beautiful interior piece. For teens ages 13 - 17.

On a summer evening in Japan, many cities hold an event called Toro Nagashi — the festival of Floating Lanterns, much in the way we celebrate Memorial Day.  Messages and drawings are inscribed on paper lanterns attached to a base with a candle inside and set afloat in a lake.

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

About the branch

The La Cañada Flintridge Library was established in May 1913 and was originally housed in the rear of a general store. It was the second branch of the Los Angeles County Public Library system.

The library was moved in 1915 to the La Cañada Elementary School where it remained through 1934. At that time, the library relocated again to a Foothill Boulevard store location where it stayed until June 1947.

A La Cañada Elementary School shop building provided temporary quarters until a library was built and opened on February 22, 1951. The library's current building was opened on June 16, 1971.

The library was refurbished in 1998 to freshen the interior and the checkout desk was replaced in 2002.
