Join us as we explore Haruki Murakami's The City and Its Uncertain Walls. Copies are available at the Customer Service desk and newcomers are always welcome! For adults

We begin with a young couple, teenagers in love. One day, she disappears … and her absence haunts him for the rest of his life. A search for this lost love takes the man into middle age and on a journey between the real world and an other world. As the seasons pass and the man grows more uncertain about the porous boundaries between these two worlds, he meets a strange young boy who helps him to see what he's been missing all along.

About the branch

The Quartz Hill Library is located in the unincorporated town of Quartz Hill, adjacent to the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster, and was founded on July 24, 1959. The then 3,530 sq. ft. library was originally located at 42018 N. 50th St. in a building formerly housed by three adjoining, family run stores.

With funding generously provided by County of Los Angeles Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, a new state-of-the-art 12,514 sq. ft. library opened at it's current location of 5040 West Avenue M-2 on November 19, 2016. The new Quartz Hill Library features a community meeting room, two group study rooms, and an expansive Children's area.
