All LA County Library locations will be closed on Wednesday, December 25, 2024 and January 1, 2025 in observance of Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Our digital library is open 24/7.
After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. For adults.
Naomi's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and she knows little about the region. Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: she's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid.
Join us as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and uncover the secrets of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic. Copies are available at the Customer Service desk and newcomers are always welcome!

The Quartz Hill Library is located in the unincorporated town of Quartz Hill, adjacent to the cities of Palmdale and Lancaster, and was founded on July 24, 1959. The then 3,530 sq. ft. library was originally located at 42018 N. 50th St. in a building formerly housed by three adjoining, family run stores.
With funding generously provided by County of Los Angeles Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, a new state-of-the-art 12,514 sq. ft. library opened at it's current location of 5040 West Avenue M-2 on November 19, 2016. The new Quartz Hill Library features a community meeting room, two group study rooms, and an expansive Children's area.
