All LA County Library locations will be closed on Wednesday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. Our digital library is open 24/7.
Join us in recognition of El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/Book Day) – also known as Día – as we celebrate children and families around the world with a special luchador themed storytime, craft, and more. For ages 5 - 12
When you think of luchadores, what immediately comes to mind? Wrestling masks! But, as you might imagine, wrestlers don’t wear these masks just for the spectacle of it. In professional Mexican wrestling, the luchador mask defines a wrestler’s identity and helps him create and maintain a persona. Did you know the City of Compton has a wrestling community called Compton Mania? It's not luchador, but who knows, maybe that can be included.
Attendance and supplies are limited, and advance registration is suggested. 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.
This event is held in-person. LA County Public Health strongly encourages masks and physical distancing indoors regardless of vaccination status. Masks will continue to be available for customers upon request. Please see the Guidelines for Attendees during the registration process for more information.

Compton Library branch of the Los Angeles County Free library opened its doors in July of 1913, the 11th branch of today's LA County Library.
The library was located in a storefront building near Main and Tamarind Streets and was later moved to the Compton Union High School at 212 S Acacia Street.
In 1925 a separate building was erected in the City Hall Park at 123 W Almond Street, where it remained until 1974, when the current facility was dedicated at 240 W Compton Boulevard.
