There are plenty of activities going on at your local Library; here’s what’s going on at the two Pico Rivera Libraries.
Annual Bookmark Contest
Students in grades K through 12 are invited to participate in the Los Angeles County Library’s Annual Bookmark Contest, an annual program which encourages a love of books and reading while also promoting creativity, artistic expression and community engagement. Students will have the chance to see their bookmark designs featured at their local library and throughout Los Angeles County.
