Walnut Library

Meeting Room

Join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by creating your own Nicho box — a vibrant, decorative box traditionally used in Latin America to honor loved ones or showcase religious imagery. For children 5 –12.

These beautiful pieces combine early Spanish artistry with Indigenous and mestizo traditions. While nichos are cherished year-round, they hold special significance during Día de los Muertos. Bring a small photo or keepsake to personalize the nicho you’ll craft.

About the branch

Walnut Library was founded in March 1916 in the original Walnut Elementary School. It was maintained there until 1964 when bookmobile service was initiated to better serve the area.

When the Walnut population increased, a 3,250 square foot rental storefront at 134 N. Pierre Street was opened in 1970. The library has been at the present location since February 13, 1985.
