Meeting Room

Join us to discuss 'The Book of Two Ways' by Jodi Picoult. For adults.

After a near-death experience, Dawn Edelstein realizes she longs for a life she chose not to live. We see two perspectives: one in which Dawn returns to her settled life in Boston, and another in which she tracks down an old flame in Egypt and completes her abandoned work on an ancient map of the afterlife. What does living a full life truly mean?

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.
