Face painting, caricatures, a fortune teller, balloon twister, and delicious cakes are just some of the delights that will be featured at the West Hollywood Library’s fifth Birthday Party. Thrown by the Friends of the West Hollywood Library, the event will take place on Saturday, October 1, 2016 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Library’s Community Room and adjacent park at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood.
Other highlights for partygoers include a crafts table for creating birthday cards for the library, a picture frame project for teens, a henna tattoo artist, refreshments, and giveaways.
“In addition to celebrating the Library’s birthday, a fun party provides an opportunity to bring folks to the library who may not have been here before,” says Friends President Linda Demmers. “It has become the ‘heartbeat’ of our city and we are eager to share it with others.”

Opened on October 1, 2011, the West Hollywood Library, which houses over 150,000 items, also includes 160 reader seats and 69 public use computers. The 32,000 square-foot Library quickly became the City’s cultural, literary, and artistic center. It is in the top 10% of LA County libraries for number of visitors annually and celebrated its one-millionth visitor last year. The Library serves more requests for holds and reserves than 95% of the other LA County branches.
