Join us to discuss 'Candace, The Universe, and Everything' by Sherri L. Smith. For ages 11 - 14.

On the first day of 8th grade, Candace opens her locker and is astonished when an unusual bird flies out. Soon after, a notebook mysteriously appears on the top shelf with a name and date written in it, Tracey Auburn 1988. On a whim, Candace writes in the notebook—and she's shocked when Tracey writes back. Then an invitation appears from Loretta Young, who had the locker in 1948, and the three meet up in the present day. Tracey is now 53 and a college professor, and Loretta is 93 and a quantum physicist. Loretta tells them that her life’s work has been to study the portal and others like it across state of Illinois. But Loretta needs Tracey’s and Candace’s help to complete her research.

About the branch

Las Virgenes Library was founded in 1916 and was located for a brief period, at the Las Virgenes Grammar School. The library then moved to Liberty School which was one of four schools in the area. Shortly after 1920, the school and the library moved to Chesebro Road. The library was managed during that time by Mrs. Wright. Later, the library moved to the Cornell School.

The library moved again on December 8, 1970 into a 7,500 square foot storefront facility located on 29130 Roadside Drive.

On October, 27, 2001 the library became the "Agoura Hills" Library moving to a brand new 17,772 square foot facility at 29901 Ladyface Court. The library is part of the City Hall Civic Center.
