Use your imagination to think like an architect and design a paper house inside and out. For kids ages 5 – 12 with a parent or guardian.

Have you ever wondered how houses, apartments, stores, and other structures are designed and built? The practice of designing a structure or house is called architecture, and a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of a building is called an architect. 

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.

About the branch

The library was established in February of 1969 in honor of Congressman Chet Holifield, 19th District (served 1943-1974). The library primarily serves the residents of south Montebello. In January 2011, the library reopened after a year-long refurbishment project.
