El Camino Real Library

Meeting Room

Join us to create a model of a neuron! For kids ages 5 – 12 with a parent or guardian.

You have trillions of cells in your body and more than 10 billion nerve cells in your brain. These nerve cells are also called neurons. Neurons communicate with one another by sending electrical messages from one part of your body to another.

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.

About the branch

The library, originally founded in 1929 as the Stephenson Library, moved into its present location in 1972 and was rededicated as El Camino Real Library in 1975. The library was rededicated again in November 2014 after a renovation and expansion that added a meeting room, teen area, and outdoor reading patio. The library is located on the historic El Camino Real.
