October's book club selection is How We Go Home: Voices from Indigenous North America edited by Sara Sinclair.

Originally told in oral interviews in collaboration with Voice of Witness, a non-profit that amplifies the stories of those who are impacted by--and fighting injustice, these 12 narratives explore the life and histories of contemporary Indigenous peoples from the United States and Canada. This collection of stories focus on topics such as Water Protectors, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, family separation, and many other effects of colonization. We invite you to join us for a lively discussion in a relaxed setting with snacks.

Copies of the book are available for checkout at Huntington Park Library and may also be downloaded as an eBook or audiobook at LACountyLibrary.org

Light refreshments served courtesy of Friends of the Huntington Park Library.

About the branch

Proudly serving the residents of the vibrant City of Huntington Park and neighboring areas, the Huntington Park Library was founded in 1913 and originally housed in the City Hall.

As the library continued to grow, it moved to larger locations in 1924 and 1931. The present library building in the Civic Center was dedicated in 1970.

A significant sculpture designed by artist Tom Van Sant, "Flight Form," was also dedicated in 1970 and is suspended from the second floor ceiling.

An active Friends of the Library group was formed in 1996 to promote and support Library services to the community.
