71 Westwood Branch Library

Westwood

We visited the 71st of 72 branches of the Los Angeles Public Library! The Westwood Branch Library is in the neighborhood of Westwood. It is near UCLA and the Hammer Museum next to Westwood Village. (Can you believe we only have one more branch left to visit – and we will have visited all 73 locations of LAPL?!)

We read books and played in the children’s section. We even welcomed another kid who was there to join us for reading!

We took home lots of books – and Riley even checked them out herself!

We enjoyed all of the books we read at the library, and the ones we took home. We have been enjoying books with CD readings in the car lately – Riley gets to hold the book and flip the pages in her carseat while listening to the story (over and over and over again). We listened to a Frozen (Elsa and Anna) story last week, and I forgot to take a picture of it, oh well. You get the idea!

Next time you’re in Westwood – visit the local library!
