Quartz Hill Library

Meeting Room

Join us to discuss 'Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries' by Heather Fawcett. For adults.

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde knows everything about fairies, but nothing about people. She is close to completing her seminal reference book, but her attempts at fieldwork on a remote Scandinavian island are frustrated by her lack of social skills. Adding insult to injury, her insufferable academic rival has chosen to conduct research in the same village, and the townsfolk immediately open up to him. The two will have to learn to work together if they want to make a breakthrough about the island's elusive Hidden Ones.

Attendance is limited, and advance registration is required. Please register every individual in your party, including kids. This will be used to save your spots in the program. We cannot guarantee availability for any unregistered attendees.

About the branch

The Quartz Hill Library is located in the unincorporated town of Quartz Hill, adjacent to the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster, and was founded on July 24, 1959. The then 3,530 sq. ft. library was originally located at 42018 N. 50th St. in a building formerly housed by three adjoining, family run stores.

With funding generously provided by County of Los Angeles Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, a new state-of-the-art 12,514 sq. ft. library opened at it's current location of 5040 West Avenue M-2 on November 19, 2016. The new Quartz Hill Library features a community meeting room, two group study rooms, and an expansive Children's area.
