Sama Sama: Solidarity in the Fields is a short trilingual play tells the story of three high school students as they discover their cultural identity by learning about the "Manongs" and "Bracero Program." Recommended for ages 12 - 18.

Written by Giovanni Ortega and directed by Daphnie Sicre, Sama Sama incorporates narration, poetry, music, movement, and Eskrima to emphasize the shared narratives of Mexican and Filipino culture. It's a trilingual theatrical production, with English, Spanish, and Tagalog used to amplify this vital piece of history.  

This production is presented with support from East West Players, FilAm Arts Teatro, the California Arts Council, the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the L.L. Foundation, and the Dwight Stuart Youth Fund.

About the branch

Temple City Library was founded when Willa Samson initiated a small lending library in her home. In 1924, Mrs. Samson's rental cottage (9961 Woodruff Avenue) became the first official library site with Mrs. Samson as Temple City's first librarian.

After moving into larger buildings when it outgrew its surroundings, the current library location was opened in 1963.

Temple City Library reopened to the community in May 2022 with renovations which included a new Children’s Area, Community Meeting room, additional seating, laptop vending machine, Civic Art installation, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
