Meeting Room

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with award winning author Aida Salazar as she discusses her book 'Land of the Cranes'.

Join us for a conversation with author Aida Salazar about her book describing an immigrant family's flight to Los Angeles after escaping near certain death in Mexico.  A series of tragedies leads nine year old Betita and her pregnant mother alone in a Los Angeles detention center, struggling with the realities of separation from Betita's father.  This story - told in verse - highlights the struggles of refugees to the United States.  

Children will receive books donated by Walmart. While supplies last.

About the branch

The original Norwood Library opened on November 22, 1950 as a storefront library at 4772 Peck Road. The library was opened to provide service to residents of the unincorporated area north of the city of El Monte.

The city annexed this area in the early 1960's. Property for a larger site was purchased in 1967. Finally, on April 15, 1977, the new Norwood Library opened at this address.

The library has an active Friends of the Library which strongly supports library programs and services.
