La Verne Library

Meeting Room

Join us to create a watercolor postcard inspired by professional artist Chiura Obata who was an inmate at a Japanese incarceration camp and taught classes in drawing and painting portraits and remembrances of life before incarceration.

They taught classes in drawing and painting that varied from scenes of daily life in camps to portraits and remembrances of life before incarceration. Gaman art reflects their spirit of resourcefulness and creativity.  For adults.

This program is part of One Book, One Coast which brings together library systems across California, Washington State, and Oregon for a shared community reading program that celebrates literacy, learning, community, and civil discourse.

About the branch

La Verne Library was originally established as the "Traveling Library" on October 1, 1914, when the Lordsburg Library Board of Trustees joined the Los Angeles County Library system. After numerous moves to ever larger facilities, the La Verne Library moved to its current location at 3640 D Street on July 29, 1985.
