Celebrate Juneteenth at the library. Children will learn about Juneteenth and will be able to create their own Juneteenth flag. For ages 5-11 with parent or caregiver.

Juneteenth is a holiday, celebrated on June 19th, that remembers the day in 1865 when word came to enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, that they were free - two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.  We will discuss the importance of Juneteenth and afterwards, children will create their own Juneteenth craft. 

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.
