Brentwood, Palisades, and West LA Branch Libraries Weekly Events Update

Check Out This Week’s Schedule of Activities and Storytimes

Brentwood Branch Library is gearing up for a quiet Wednesday this week with adjustments to its usual programming. There will be no storytime this week or the following week, and STAR volunteer Bonnie is currently on vacation. However, the library is set to offer its regular Brick Building Playtime and CrEATive Plates Kids’ Cooking Class on Saturday.

While registration for Saturday’s cooking class is already full, interested participants can still join the waitlist for possible openings here. Here’s what’s on the agenda for the remainder of the week:

  • Tuesday, 5/7, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.: STAR Reader Alicia

Baby & Toddler Storytime:

  • The First Wednesday of the Month at 10:15 a.m. (January 10*, February 7, March 13*, April 10*, May 1, & June 5)

Family Storytime:
