All LA County Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 7 in honor of Labor Day. Our Digital Library will be open 24/7 as usual.
Join us as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by learning about the cultural aspects of lotería, then play the game for a chance to win prizes! For children ages 5 – 12 and their families.
Lotería originated in Italy in the 15th century and was brought to modern-day Mexico in the 18th century. It soon became a popular game to play with friends and family.
This event will take place in the Homework Center. Light refreshments generously provided by the Friends of Huntington Park Library.
*Parents and guardians: Please be aware that refreshments will be served at this program. A list of ingredients will be available.

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.
