The 34th Branch Library 34/72, the John Muir Branch Library is in South Los Angeles in the Vermont-Slauson neighborhood. It is a beautiful old brick building named after John Muir.
There was a lovely children’s section, and many books out to choose from – thank you librarians! Riley happened to pull one out right from the start, that I’d been wanting to read!
We played and read and then took some books home.
We got Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall. This is one Riley wanted to read over and over. I’m so glad she randomly pulled this one out! And good thing we have more swim lessons starting again next week. . .
We got The New LiBEARian by Alison Donald and pictures by Alex Willmore.
Keep Climbing , Girls by Beah E. Richards, illustrated by R. Gregory Christie with an introduction by LisaGay Hamilton.
Say Hello! by Rachel Isadora.
La Princesa and the Pea by Susan Middleton Elya and illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal. A Pura Belpré Award winner.
The books were great, as always.
