The LA County Library website will undergo scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, December 2 from 7 am to 9 am. During this window there may be a brief period of downtime.
Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by making a matchbox nicho—small, colorful boxes that honor loved ones or display religious images originating in Latin America.
Nichos blend early Spanish influences with Indigenous and mestizo designs. Though used year-round, they’re especially popular during Día de los Muertos. This activity explores this tradition by creating mini nichos with empty matchboxes. For adults.
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.

After numerous moves to ever larger facilities, the La Verne Library moved to its current location at 3640 D Street on July 29, 1985.
