Council Branch Tours
Mar Vista Branch Library & Venice – Abbot Kinney Memorial Branch Library

Join fellow Council members for a morning exploring the Library’s impact in our neighborhoods. We’ll begin at the Mar Vista Branch Library with refreshments and a look at the Library’s programs and special photo collection, then continue to the Venice – Abbot Kinney Memorial Branch Library for a preview of the refreshed branch before it reopens to the public, including a visit to its YESS sensory-friendly space designed for neurodiverse children and teens.

This event is free for Council members.
