10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Cahuenga Library Fall Planting
4591 Santa Monica Blvd (at Madison)
Check out what we did at the first planting event in May!
Did you know...
...that the library was named after the Tongva Indian village of Cahug-na ("Cahuenga" in Spanish), which spanned the area
now known as Hollywood?
...that the Cahuenga Branch Library, built 1916, is the 3rd oldest facility in the Los Angeles Public Library system?
...that the library was built for $34,000 by a grant by steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie?
...that the library was designed by architect Clarence Russell, who also helped design the Venice canals?
...that
the Cahuenga Branch is listed under the National Register of Historic Places and is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument?
...that it needs some cleaning up?
Join us on Saturday, November 6 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. as we clean up trash, plant drought-resistant native plants and wildflower seeds and give our beloved
Cahuenga Branch Library some community care! All ages welcome!
