MESSAGE FROM OUR INTERIM LIBRARY DIRECTOR: |
As we look ahead to an exciting summer at the Whittier Public Library, I’m thrilled to invite the Whittier community to participate in this year’s Summer Reading Club beginning June 8th—a wonderful opportunity for readers of all ages to stay enthusiastic, inspired, and connected through books. Launching at the same time, Lunch at the Library will once again provide nutritious meals and a welcoming space for families to gather and learn together. We have many exciting programs planned, made possible by our dedicated and passionate staff. To support this work, both library locations will be closed on May 22 for a full day of staff training as we prepare to serve you even better. We look forward to a vibrant summer with the Whittier community!
