Explore early learning skills, pre-writing, imagination, and problem solving with your child through free-form art activities. For ages 2 - 5 with parent or caregiver.

Little ones will get to explore different types of art: stamping, finger painting, dot markers, crayons, etc. It's okay to get
messy; just wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little bit dirty.


This program is part of Smart Start at the Library, LA County Library's collection of programs and services for
early learners ages 0 - 5 and their caregivers.


Please join us after the program for an opportunity to chat with a representative from Alma Family Services about child
development.

About the branch

Bell Library was established in 1913 as the 29th branch of the County of Los Angeles Public Library System. After having been relocated several times, the library was built at the present location in 1960.

Due to the rapid growth of the community, the building was expanded in 1973. It is presently serving one of the most culturally diverse communities in Los Angeles County.
